Right Idea, Not Enough Incentive | 08-26-2008
Analysis of: Europe adopts new pediatric drug rule | www.nationalreviewofmedicine.com
Author: GLG Expert Contributor

Children have long been therapeutic orphans, often relying on off-label use of new drugs which have only been tested on adults. This legislation seeks to remedy that inequality, by encouraging pharmaceutical companies to do more testing in pediatric populations.

Author: GLG Expert Contributor

Just like expensive, do-everything end-of-life care, like unlimited imaging studies, like newest drugs, patients want it all. This is one of the attitudes which causes the US to spend far more than other developed countries for far less efficient and cost-effective health care.
