Vodka & Drugs

The Liquor Business is apparently good business

"Sweden’s famed Absolut vodka will become absolutely French — in ownership at least — following a successful $8.34 billion bid from Pernod Ricard SA...The government said it selected Pernod Ricard’s bid on Sunday over three other offers, by liquor groups Fortune Brands and Bacardi Ltd. and an investment group controlled by Sweden’s Wallenberg family."

I didn't realize that Absolut Vodka was owned by the Swedish government, 8.34 billion is a good reason to sell it. Especially if it is still going to be produced in Sweden.

I Prefer arthritis to have a heart attack, but that is just me?

This is a weird a commercial, it defiantly makes me want to live with the pain rather than taken the pill that could kill me.

Not only does Celebrex increase the chance of a heart attack, it BOOST HEART ATTACK risks. But don't worry, Celbrex has never been taking off of the market. For now......

"doctors should prescribe the lowest doses of Celebrex possible in patients at high risk of heart problems, researchers who did a combined analysis of six studies of the Pfizer Inc. pain drug said on Monday.The analysis suggests that the potentially harmful effect of Celebrex dosage is most pronounced in higher-risk patients, researchers said at the American College of Cardiology scientific meeting.MSNBC"

Way to go FDA, once again looking out for number one. CHa CHing $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

You might have well have been taken suger pills, because Vytorin and Zetia sure don't work.

"Leading doctors urged a return to older, tried-and-true treatments for high cholesterol after hearing full results Sunday of a failed trial of Vytorin.Millions of Americans already take the drug or one of its components, Zetia. But doctors were stunned to learn that Vytorin failed to improve heart disease..The study was closely watched because Zetia and Vytorin have racked up $5 billion in sales despite limited proof of benefit. Two Congressional panels launched probes into why it took drugmakers nearly two years after the study’s completion to release results."(MSNBC)

Who would of thought, the reason why the truth couldnt come out was because of the clotting agent...Money. I hope the patients that were subscribed this drug and brought into the scam win their lawsuit. This is a blatant example of a scam, the drug makers new it was ineffective yet misrepresented its effectiveness for atleast 2 years.
