But hey they chose to market it to everyone like SSRIs and statins.

Anti-depress. script overwriting is one of my pet peeves. That could be another thread. My idea of the worst offender...the remarketing of Prozac as (sp?) Serafem. Same compound but with a daisy on the box. For PMS symptoms. I know of some GPs who practically talk their pts. into SSRIs (which are great when indicated...but not for everyone).

LOL. WAIT they are indicated for everyone! Just watch the commercials!

Zocor is also for everyone. Diabetic need Zocor, Normal cholesterol Zocor, normal cholesterol normal blood sugar you guessed it Zocor, or whatever the statin of the day is.

I hope statins live up to the press but I don't trust anything printed about them.
