Don't you think your argument is odd? Wouldn't "BigPharma" (not really a thing) want to profit from the two drugs you keep pushing? They can simply change the name, alter the formula a smidgen, and change the "prescribed-for use" to profit highly off of the newly-purposed "old" drug, patent it for this new purpose, and make millions. But No! "BigPharma" has decided to "snuff them out in the marketplace".
David, they can do what they want, but these are generic drugs, and doctors are always willing to give you the generic versions instead of the expensive ones.
You can pay more for Motrin or Aleve, but you’d be better off getting ibuprofen and naproxen. Save you a few bucks for some electronic toys.
Wall Street and big Pharma used to be cast as villains by most liberals. I think Wall Street still may be, but big Pharma has been embraced as heroic by the media these days. Unusual about-face. Speaking as an observer, not really judging one way or the other.
