drug companies waste much of their research on copycat drugs rather than new treatments Innovations in pharmaceuticals is often incremental, not huge leaps forward. You have 4 different cancer drugs, each one adds 6 months of life for each launch and you end up with 2 extra years of life. As well, copycats are needed, because not every drug reacts the same in everyone. If you need to lower your cholesterol, you have dozens of different statins to choose from. Some you won't be able to tolerate, others you can. Options are good, not bad. |
