"For schizophrenia drugs, Lilly, johnson & johnson, and other companies have run numerous direct trials, in which their drug is compared with a competing product. All five of the studies paid for by Lilly showed the superiority of their drug Zyprexa to Risperdal, while three of the four johnson & johnson studies favored Risperdal over Zyprexa. "The comparative studies are a joke. They are comical. A lot of the scientific literature these days is worthless," says Jack E. Rosenblatt, a psychiatrist." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"In the following years two other companies—Shire, the maker of Adderall, and johnson & johnson, which sells Concerta?heavily advertised their prescription stimulants to the public. "With Concerta, I see Matt. Not his ADHD," said the tagline in an ad featuring a freckle-faced, grinning kid in Parade magazine in 2005.

In tiny print on the next page was a long list of warnings about Concerta's dangers, including that it could "lead to dependence." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"In response, major sponsors—the drug companies AstraZeneca and Novartis, as well as johnson & johnson, Scotts Company, and Staples—withdrew their support. Wonderland was gone after two episodes.23 The trend continued in 2007, when General Motors, Volkswagen, and Washington Mutual all ran TV commercials that depicted depressive feelings and suicidal behavior, albeit in satirical ways." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.) "The antipsychotic Risperdal was Johnson & Johnson's second best-selling drug in 2004. And in 2004, the psychiatric drugs Zoloft, Seroquel, Celexa, and Lexapro were each the number-one or the number-two best-selling products of their respective manufacturers.14 If one were to put the most brilliant drug marketers in the world in a room for a month, they would not be able to come up with a more propitious set of contingencies upon which to launch a new category of drugs than that Prozac enjoyed by the time of its 1988 introduction." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.) "All five of the studies paid for by Lilly showed the superiority of their drug Zyprexa to Risperdal, while three of the four johnson & johnson studies favored Risperdal over Zyprexa. "The comparative studies are a joke. They are comical. A lot of the scientific literature these days is worthless," says Jack E.

"The two largest pharmaceutical companies at that time, johnson & johnson and Merck had, respectively, $204 and $1.5 million in prescription revenue. From I960 to 1980, prescription sales were fairly static; from 1980 to 2000, they tripled. Since 1980, the pharmaceutical industry has consistently ranked as the most profitable in the United States In 2002, worldwide prescription sales were about $400 billion, half of which come from the United States.

"It is true that they are rapidly dominating the annual stent market, much to the joy of the management and stockholders of johnson & johnson and Boston Scientific. It is also true that the notion that they are better for patients than stockholders is on increasingly shaky ground (Mitka 2006). The courage Trial discussed in the principal chapter is particularly damning; no one should be told that angioplasty, with or without stenting, prevents a heart attack or stroke or prolongs life (Boden et al. 2007) in patients with stable coronary artery disease." - Nortin M.

The executives continued to argue that the drug should not be blamed for all the reported injuries and deaths." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"And guess who makes these products? johnson & johnson. The leading baby product line today in the United States, Australia, and elsewhere in the world is Johnson & Johnson's. Their Web site tells us that their products are clinically tested to ensure they are "mild and gentle enough for newborns." This is why the company says it replaces sodium lauryl sulfate, which is relatively harsh as a cleanser, with a close substitute as a cleansing ingredient. This substitute is called sodium laurel sulfate." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"Remicade, sold by johnson & johnson and Schering-Plough 3. Humira, sold by Abbott Laboratories 4. Cimzia, sold by the Belgian company UCB Because these drugs block part of the immune system, they naturally contribute to a higher risk of cancers and infections. The drugs' labels include a warning about a risk of lymphomas, which are cancers of immune system cells. The risk of developing cancer as a result of taking arthritis is also prevalent among adults.

"In the 1930s, another product of the nineteenth-century Prussian chemists, long collecting dust, started a tortuous journey to commercial success, emerging in the British marketplace in the 1950s and then in the United States as acetaminophen, which was marketed as Tylenol by McNeil Pharmaceuticals. johnson & johnson, already an enormous purveyor of consumer-health products, purchased McNeil.

Usually, exposure to sun and pollution (such as cigarette smoke) speeds the otherwise natural aging process, adding wrinkles.

Topical vitamin C usually comes in the form of serums, gels or creams, which may contain anywhere from 5% to 10% of the vitamin." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"Wyeth Five of them are located in the USA {Pfizer, Merck, johnson & johnson, Abbott Laboratories, and Wyeth), two in England {GlaxoSmithKline and AstraZenca), one in France {Aventis) and two in Switzerland {Novartis and Hoffmann-La Roche).

"Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau is a former rep who carried the bag for nine years for Bristol-Myers Squibb and johnson & johnson before quitting to write and direct Side Effects, an independent film about a fictional drug rep. She recalls that the pressure on reps to hit their quotas was intense.

"It had taken the over-the-counter decongestant PPA off the US market, and it had contributed to the team effort that protected the public from the adverse effects of GlaxoSmithKline's Lotronex, Bayer's Baycol, and Johnson & Johnson's Propulsid.

All three drugs are Schedule II psychostimulants, and all are known to be highly addictive, dangerous and deadly. The FDA MedWatch program, one of voluntary physician reporting, is judged to detect no more than one to ten percent of side effects of a given drug.
