Personal message:

So, now we are segregating our medicines? When will they start working on

medications for my ethnic group? I am Cherokee, Spanish, Dutch, Irish and Isleta

Pueblo. (Which I guess are technically all caucasian, right?) Also, if they

noticed that a combination of 2 currently available medications was proving to

be effective in treating heart disease among African Americans, why not just

prescribe both of these drugs? Why create a faux product just for the sake of

getting a special dispensation from the patent gods? Does the phrase BIG BUCKS

ring any bells? Now they will have 13 years of patent exclusivity for this drug

for which they will charge exhorbitant prices when the 2 drugs already on the

market are probably already available in generic or will be well before their

patent for this new combo will expire. Money hungry bastards. Anyone know of any

malicious side effects from this stuff?
