Read the GlaxoSmithKline's position on Myodil from 2001 HERE

Some of the lines sound familiar:

Could the following have been written for Alistair Benbow?

GlaxoSmithKline has every sympathy for people who think they have suffered as a result of the administration of Myodil.


Anybody who suffers side effects of any sort I feel every sympathy for….
Dr. Alastair Benbow Head of European Psychiatry for GlaxoSmithKline 5/11/03

Sounds like a stuck record.

And here is how GlaxoSmithKline defended the symptoms people were suffering on Myodil:

...the symptoms and issues surrounding arachnoiditis are complex, with current medical opinion indicating that people's suffering is most likely due to their original condition

Glaxo's stance on the settlement with Myodil claimants:

In July 1995, after 4 years of legal proceedings over Myodil, Glaxo Wellcome reached a settlement with a group of plaintiffs. This was done without any admission of liability by the company, which took the view that a settlement was more equitable and in the best interests of the parties, not least in terms of the legal costs which would have been incurred.

Quite

You see folks, GlaxoSmithKline have a tainted history of manufacturing bad drugs, drugs that maim, disfigure, drugs that cause one to want to commit suicide.

It appears that the UK Medicines Regulator has a history of not being forthcoming with patient queries/requests too.

GSK are still manufacturing drugs. The Medicines Regulator are still investigating them!

Do YOU trust them?
