I just feel they are blind folded by the pharmaceutical company. I agree that even in US kids are drugged. But now the outsourcing of these trials are pouring to Asian countries, because they know the consequences. Humans cannot be sacrificed for trials at any cost.Dhanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01500944431547821676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413188010345789411.post-45315458687273127762008-08-26T17:58:00.000+05:302008-08-26T17:58:00.000+05:30Hi DhanyaAm completely with you on this one.

Let's try and spread the awareness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413188010345789411.post-82597954052834537632008-08-26T14:06:00.000+05:302008-08-26T14:06:00.000+05:30I did come across that piece of news on one of the...I did come across that piece of news on one of the local news papers. I do agree with your view on doctors: Are they life-savers or killers. What I do want to know is whether the doctors were aware about the consequences or were they blindfolded by the pharmaceutical company which is conducting the trials. Also another disturbing fact is that there is absolutely no news regarding what actions were taken after that the incident. Right now, its all an hush-hush affair. I guess the PR Agency for the pharma company must be doing one hell of a job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413188010345789411.post-27613651056664338282008-08-26T13:02:00.000+05:302008-08-26T13:02:00.000+05:30Yes,off-label use of drugs is really increasing li...Yes,off-label use of drugs is really increasing like anything. Not only in our country, even in U.S. American kids are being drugged to death with few drugs. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved only a handful for pediatric use. Psychiatrists must adapt what they know about treating adults to children and adolescents while treating bipolar disorder. So lot of trail n error will be done with those innocent kids!!! This trial n error has lead to even death of several kids. I can see a lack of prompt n proper diagnosis with regard to several pediatric diseases.Shilpa Nangalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16098056057135389651noreply@blogger.com
