Secrecy about pharmaceutical products


  • Lack of public access to information on medicines

Incidence

In the UK, it is a criminal offence for officials involved in the licensing or withdrawal of a drug to disclose any information about their decision. Although the manufacturers of drugs are required to produce data sheets that identify likely side-effects, there is no public right of access to these safety studies.

Claim

  1. Evidence based medicine has been corrupted by corporate interests, failed regulation, and commercialisation of academia
