Why does the DoH keep giving licences to new "me-to" drugs with little or no
benefits?
I refer to yet another NSAID which a rep paraded before this week and a new
topical herpes cream, the research upon which is held on file by the
company, has not been published and so, in my view, cannot be trusted.
Heretic statement - the Doh/CSM should not be licencing new drugs (without
clear benefits over current treatments), but should be removing the licences
of some of the crap that has got through.
Could be something to do with Party funds and Glaxo or am I just being a cynic!
