As one of the most massive and successful business sectors, the
pharmaceutical industry is a potent force for good in the
community, yet its behaviour is frequently questioned: could it
serve society at large better than it has done in the recent past?
Its own internal ethics, both in business and science, may need a
careful reappraisal, as may the extent to which the law -
administrative, civil and criminal - succeeds in guiding (and where
neccessary contraining) it.
The rules of behavior that may be considered to apply to today's
pharmaceutical industry have emerged over a very long period and
the process goes on. Even the immensely detailed standards for
quality, safety and efficacy laid down in drug law and regulation
during the second half of the twentieth century have their
limitations as tools for ensuring that the public interest is well
served. In particular, national and regional regulatory agencies
are heavily dependent on industrial data for their decision-making,
their standards and competence vary, and even the existing network
of agencies does not cover the entire world. What is more there are
many areas of law and regulation affecting the industry, concerning
for example the pricing of medicines, the conduct of clinical
studies, the health protection of workers and concern for the
environment. In some fields it is indeed hardly possible to
maintain standards through regulation.
Professor N.M. Graham Dukes, a physician and lawyer with long term
experience in industrial research management, academic study and
international drug policy, provides here a powerfully documented
analysis into the way this industry thinks, acts, and is viewed,
and examines the current trends pointing to change.
*Provides a balanced picture of the current role of the
pharmaceutical industry in society
*Includes indices of conventions, laws, and regulations; as well as
judicial and disciplinary cases
*This is the only book addressing the legal implications of big
pharma activities and ethical standards
