Government Muscle

Government Muscle

Forest Labs is a pharmaceutical company based out of New York City. Among their best-selling products are antidepressants known as Celexa and Lexapro. Two years ago, Forest was sued under the federal False Claims Act for marketing these drugs to both adults and children, even though the government had only approved them for use with adults. The suit alleged that Forest promoted these drugs with a “sock puppet” favorable study pushed to the American Journal of Psychiatry, and engaged in various kickback schemes with doctors.
