Saturday Stories

The way the big pharmaceutical companies would mark up their
products almost twice the price is true. I first heard about it during the
expose of then Senator Manuel Roxas, who is now Secretary of the Interior and
running for President next year, when he was pushing his landmark Cheaper
Medicine Act.
I just got more inside stories from
a friend whom I will call Gerardo, a retired supervisor of medical field
representatives. I was on my second day in a row at the mall food court with
root beers from the supermarket.
I have heard that a physician's
sample of a drug is more potent that what you get from pharmacies, and
apparently it is not true either.
