Question Authority: "You have accused Pfizer of illegally premarketing an unapproved drug, using the sales force. I guess you refer to FDA rules for promotion of an investigational new drug. According to those rules, a sponsor shall not represent in a promotional context that an investigational new drug is safe or effective for the purposes for which it is under investigation or otherwise promote the drug. The rules also state that the intent is to preclude commercialization of the drug before it is approved for commercial distribution. Is this what Pfizer did?"
Jane Roe: "Yes they did say that over and over again because Glaxo's CCR5 was such a toxic drug and was dc'd earlier last year. It was really about the commercialization of the drug which means using the sales force to soften the market, market prep, you know the drill."

Does anyone really care about this? Pfizer repeatedly breaks the rules and as some commenters suggested earlier who cares as long as its for a good reason...This is after all HIV which now affects the most vulnerable in society most of whom get their medication free from the Federal Govt. So relax Pfizer is just trying to make sure those that need the drug the most will get it no matter what rules they have to break, what lines they must cross, and do whatever it takes...We/Pfizer just want to help the helpless with no regard to protocols, laws and the least important of course is money. As you all know Pfizer doesn't need to make more money we would just donate it back at any rate. Sorry Peter not a big deal this story no one cares about what Pfizer does.
Previous poster.
Utter rubbish.

IS THIS A JOKE? IS THIS THE RETURN OF PHARMA GILES?
This is pure kitty poop. Pfizer d/c'ed their free drug program, and would not stoop to such tactics if they WERE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT MAKING MONEY...
Sorry Anonymous... but you are misinformed.
