Please read the article, other drugs are listed besides the top ones in the list below:
13 of the 20 best-selling drugs in the U.S. are made in the Puerto Rico:
— Lipitor (Pfizer) _ high cholesterol
— Zocor (Merck) _ high cholesterol
— Plavix (BMS Sanofi) _ blood thinner
— Aranesp (Amgen) _ anemia
— Zoloft (Pfizer) _ depression
— Epogen (Amgen) _ anemia
— Enbrel (Amgen) _ rheumatoid arthritis
— Procrit (Ortho Biotech) _ anemia
— Norvasc (Pfizer) _ high blood pressure
— Neulasta (Amgen) _ low white blood cells in chemotherapy
— Effexor XR (Wyeth) _ depression
— Zyprexa (Eli Lilly) _ schizophrenia, bipolar disorder
— Risperdal (Janssen) _ schizophrenia, bipolar disorder
If products from China, terrorists, lack of decent healthcare don't kill us first, then so-called Globalization just might. :mad:
I happen to take 2 drugs on this list! I wonder if I should just go stand out in the middle of the freeway now. :waitasec:
