Surprise, Pfizer Study Says Lipitor Beats Generic Zocor [View article]
'PhRMA the drug industry's main lobbying organization', does not that mean anything to you, Mike?
To me, it immediately brings into question any study that would mean selecting the brand name drug over the generic. The drug industry would certainly try to spin it the other way, but as the recent Harvard study indicates, this is just 'drug promotion', and not legitimate research.
How can an industry that spends twice as much on advertising and promotion, than it spends on research, expect to have it's sponsored studies accepted? I do not accept their research, and especially so when it is promoted by the industry lobbying group.
