Corporate drug marketing is drug pushing, and it should be illegal. Pharma continues the practice unabated because the profits make the penalties a minor cost of doing business. Now, the FDA is going to help increase corporate profits with the green light. It takes decades for all of the side effects and drug interactions to be uncovered. (Acetamenophine and alcohol is a classic example.) This is just one more example of how a for profit "health" system hurts public health. Those of you who can still afford to see a doctor; don't get sucked into this pill popping!
