Drug Recall Lawyer Blog Round-Up
Here are the week’s top stories:
- Off-Label Marketing: Jack’s Posterous has a recount of recent off-label marketing fines paid by drug dealers (oops, I mean manufacturers). “As long as off-label promotion is more profitable than the fines for punishing off-label promotion, we will have off-label promotion.”
- Motrin Phantom Recall: Pogust, Braslow & Millrood’s Drug Injury Lawyer Blog has details of Johnson & Johnson’s McNeil Consumer Healthcare and their effort to avoid a Motrin recall.
- Zocor: FDA says it may cause muscle injury (rhabdomyolysis). See our prior Zocor posts.
- Pfizer and Free Samples: Pfizer spends the most doling out free samples--$2.7 billion in a year. Kinda makes you think about those paltry fines, huh?
- Off-Label Marketing, pt. II: Take the poll.
- Drugs and Porn: Can drugs cause porn and gambling addictions? Looks like there are lawsuits in Australia and here in the U.S. I’m highly skeptical of this one.
- Fosamax: Jury selection just ended in the retrial of the Boles case, yesterday.
- Januvia & Janumet: We've been getting a lot of questions about these diabetes drugs lately, so see our website.
Happy Tuesday!
