86. Inventing "new" disases to match their drugs: You are shy, take Zoloft and so on.
87. Conducting "fake" post marketing surveilance trials in the interest of safety but in reality so sell more of their drug. The docs get paid for paper work patiens buy their "investigative" drug the results are irrelevant and the big pharma makes more money.
89.Bribing doctors via clever means: fake honoraria, overpaid honoraria, funds for special project or simply money under the table. They all work.
90.Custome designed big trials to suit their purposes. Recent example big trials doe for Novartis re their new Vioxx derivative called Prexige ( will you take it?). Look into it one place Media Doctors Canada and see for yourselves.
91. Cover up of adverse effects ( Vioxx but they got caught) even when they know full well. They figure that in the end they will come out ahead with thier profits.
92. You tell us.

PR for older dads: How to insure an ever growing market for drugs. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/11/15/eveningnews/main2186897.shtml#Post
All these DTC ads are pushing new drugs when the old drugs or the generics are much, much less expensive. I’ve seen ads on TV for Caduet. It has two ingredients. One is Amlodipine and the other is Atorvastatin. With my RxDrugCard I can get 30 tablets of Amlodipine for $9 and 30 tablets of Simvastatin for $9. I’ll bet they are charging more than $18 for this new drug! The unthinking public is going to pressure their doctors into giving them something just because it’s new, when something old or generic would do the job for cheaper.
