Or to listen to the FDA.
"FDA issues skin warning about alcoholism therapy
Federal regulators warned doctors about severe skin reactions seen in patients taking an injectable treatment for alcoholism made by Cambridge-based Alkermes Inc. and marketed by Cephalon Inc. The Food and Drug Administration said physicians and patients should watch for swelling, infection, and other complications at the point where the drug is injected. The agency stressed that doctors must use the proper needle to administer Vivitrol and inject it directly into muscle, not into fatty tissue. Nearly 200 reports of skin problems have been reported to the agency from patients taking the drug. A Cephalon spokeswoman said the company believes some of the problems resulted from improper injection of the drug (AP August 13, 2008)."
They are just a sales agent for Big Pharma, aren't they?
To hell with America's health, 'eh, FDA?
