What Doctors Don't Tell YouReaders with very long memories may recall that we got hold of a secret memo that revealed that the manufacturers of Prozac were concerned that too few children in the UK and the rest of Europe were being prescribed the drug. As a result it was planning a major push among doctors.
Well, those of you who don’t believe that doctors work to the behest of the drug company salesmen should look away now. New figures reveal that prescriptions for the antidepressant have risen by 68 per cent, to 700,000 a year, in just two years – around the time the memo was written.
* And if you really want to understand how the drug industry works, you really must read the WDDTY Secrets of the Drugs Industry. The process of drug testing and licensing is fully explained, as is the way the drugs are then marketed. Prepare to be astonished.
