Johnson & Johnson, the company that makes the antipsychotic drug Risperdal, has tentatively agreed to a settlement of $2.2 billion to resolve a federal investigation into the company's marketing practices.

Big Pharma’s Push to Drug Children: the Last Marketing Frontier

Big Pharma’s Push to Drug Children: the Last Marketing Frontier

It has long been evident that “Big Pharma’ has saturated their primary marketplace with their dangerous and toxic drugs. They have drugged adults, seniors, people with supposed psychological disorders–and now the only way to increase their sales share is to take business away from another drug company or to find a new disease not served by current medicines, not an easy task when all the other manufacturers are trying to do the same thing.
