Synopsis: WARNING! Not to be taken lightly. Your life may be at risk due to the greed and avarice of pharma companies who are putting dangerous drugs on the market, in spite of so-called government controls. Big Pharma is a money-making machine that extracts cash out of unwary investors. The process of producing a drug that hits the shelves involves millions of dollars of wasted money. And it's a cycle that repeats over, and over, and over again. Who pays? You do in failed investments, pension plans and bad science. Unnecessary drugs are brought to the market every year, wasting the efforts of scientists and labs. It has to end. Hedley Rees is a pharmaceutical industry reformer, and not just sniping at the industry. This book reveals real ways in which the industry could change. Better science, better drugs. Fewer failed drugs. Less money wasted. Cheaper medicine for people who are ill. Who won't like this book? Anyone with a vested interest in the status quo. Anyone who stands to make a lot of money from developing a drug - whether it succeeds or fails. That's a lot of people.
