Not All Companies Are Viewed as Equal
Consumers are dying at the hands of the pharmaceutical industry exposing us to unsafe products
and by not being able to afford products that can potentially save our lives. It is ethical for the
public to be viewsome of the pharmaceutical industry unequal.Even though some pharmaceutical
companies may sell things that may not benefit consumers it is unfair for all pharmaceutical
companies to be targeted. The pharmaceutical industry has the ethical obligation to protect
consumers. The Pharmaceutical industry has the ethical obligation to sell products that are
healthy to consumers, safe for our environment and affordable for all consumers. It seems that
the pharmaceutical industry is doing more harm than good with the products they are selling to
consumers.
Medication drugs that are healthy for consumers is essential to the consumers health when the
pharmaceutical industry makes product that poses a risk to the safety of the consumers health. It
can create extreme health factors. “And in 2009, a similar issue plagued many drug makers that
, sold antidepressants, which were the subject of protracted debate over whether the pills could
lead to suicidal behavior.” (1). Risks like these can be detrimental to consumers if the
pharmaceutical industry is not careful with the ingredients used to make their products. “In 2004,
Merck withdrew its Vioxx painkiller due to cardiovascular risks and amid questions about the
extent to which side effect data had been properly reported.” (2). Some of these drugs that
pharmaceutical companies produce do more harm than they do good. The pharmaceutical
industry has the responsibility to make safe and sell products to consumers that have been
thoroughly tested. Drugs that are not thoroughly tested can potentially have bad side effects and
outcomes to not only the consumer but also the environment.
Before selling their products to consumers the pharmaceutical industry has the obligation to
make sure they are not dangerous to the environment. “During the past two decades scientists,
regulatory agencies and the European Commission have acknowledged pharmaceuticals to be an
emerging environmental problem.” (1). Pharmaceutical drugs being harmful to the environment
is a rising issue. The pharmaceutical industry must do their job to ensure environmental safety
when selling their products to the consumers. “The results show that approximately 10% of
pharmaceutical products are of note regarding. potential environmental risk. For human
medicinal products, hormones, antibiotics, analgesics, antidepressants and antineoplastic
indicated an environmental risk.” (1). It is important for pharmaceutical industries to educate
consumers on discarding their products after using it so they it doesn’t cause harm to the
environment. “Pharmaceuticals in the waste stream can pose several different types of risk. The
most straightforward is that the active ingredients in a discarded drug could act on an unintended
target.” (4). It is important for pharmaceutical industries to correctly educate consumers on
discarding their products after using it so they it doesn’t cause harm to the environment.
