[QUOTE="SamJB, post: 570174, member: 45322"] Thanks, I think! A great deal of effort goes into competitor intelligence; I myself have worked in this area. Competitor intelligence can save (or cost, depending on which end of it you're on) a lot of time and money. For example, I work in oncology and I recently wanted to find what chemo drug in combination with a competitor's drug (which was similar to ours), produced the most adverse events. Combination trials are costly and difficult to do because you have more than one variable drug. I agree that in a utiopia world, all pharma companies would get together and share data; and we are moving towards that with the new regulations coming in. In particular, trials are increasingly being contracted out to smaller companies, but data is the greatest asset a drug company has before a drug is brought to market and understandably, they don't want to share that. Maybe it's just not possible to produce a statin that doesn't trigger whatever the CoQ10 receptor is. I personally don't think it should be included by default in statins because many people don't suffer from the symptoms of CoQ10 deficiency. I think it's clear from packaging that there are adverse events associated with statins. I think it's more on the onus of the doctor to monitor a patient taking a drug for a chronic ocndition. Edit: removed nested quotes. [/QUOTE]
