Take the case involving CV Therapeutics, which was bought two years ago by Gilead Sciences. A whistleblower lawsuit filed by former sales rep Ricardo Forges reveals that a director of training told him to sell “gobs of dope” and to “get those pills in people’s mouths any way you can.” Crude, but to the point, yes? The circumstances in which this brazen message was conveyed, according to the lawsuit, were somewhat odd. That’s because the sales training focused mostly on Ranexa, even though the chronic angina med was not yet approved by the FDA and Forges was hired to market Aceon...

The AMS said in the future, regulation may have to be introduced to stop these treatments and future ones from giving people an unfair advantage in examinations and tests. Professor Sir Gabriel Horn, a Cambridge neurosciences expert said “We see similarities in the future use of cognition enhancers with the current use of performance enhancing drugs in sport.” But he added brain science technology also held the key to more effective addiction and men...

It sports art by a young Frank Frazetta. Click on the image to the right for the full ad. You’ll notice that they’re not too clear on what dope is, just that it’s really bad — as are dope peddlers and dope fiends (who are apparently contagious). Thankfully the comic book industry took steps like this to protect America’s youth!

An article scheduled to appear in an April edition of Analytical Chemistry says it is possible to detect the misuse of insulin in a urine sample. Scientists had not attempted to develop a test in the past because of the presumption that it was impossible to detect misuses of insulin. Because insulin is rationed and used efficiently by the body, a byproduct of insulin would be theoretically undetectable. However, with the advent of the newer long-acting insulin analogues, scientists are now able to identify degradation product in the ur...
