The Pharmaceutical Industry

by Roman Espejo (Editor)

Overview

The pharmaceutical industry is big, big business. Editor Roman Espejo has compiled several essays and presented them in a pro versus con sequence across four main provocative topics. Readers will evaluate for themselves whether pharmaceutical research is safe and unbiased, whether drugs are regulated appropriately, whether pharmaceutical marketing practices are ethical, and whether the cost of prescription drugs in America is appropriate. With the ever-expanding field of medications, young readers need the balanced understanding that this book provides, in order to be smart health consumers.
