Medical Publisher Looks into Lawmaker’s Allegation of Misrepresentation
The NYT is reporting that, because mainly of allegations made by Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA), a medical publishing company plans to investigate an article “improperly” ghostwritten by pharma giant Wyeth to promote its patented estrogen, Prempro. Medical ghostwriting is not a new practice. It’s merely just another promotional tool in marketing a pharma company’s product, end user beware. The problem arises, however, when the ugly spectre of misrepresentation occurs. Intentional or apparent? | LINK
