Should drug companies be required to come clean?
Of course they should come clean about issues like this. If drug companies are selling products and not mentioning potential side effects, that type of behavior promotes deceptiveness in our community. Overall, it is unethical. Even though it may steer people away from the product, it is better to be truthful than not. So, if you leave out important information, and someone does get a side effect, it will ruin that products reputation, and acts almost like "bad karma." I don't know what else to say other than companies need to tell the truth because it is unethical, and, the truth will come out one way or another.

At what point do they communicate these issues?
ReplyDeleteWhat threshold would warrant disclosure? This is sticky, still.
I used to take a medicine that later was taken off the market for causing heart attacks. It always did - but I didn't know it until enough people said "maybe this is too many..." and the threshold had been moved.
