Drugs companies 'inventing diseases to boost their profits'By Mark

Henderson, Science Correspondent

PHARMACEUTICAL companies are systematically creating diseases in order

to sell more of their products, turning healthy people into patients and

placing many at risk of harm, a special edition of a leading medical journal

claims today.

 

The practice of " diseasemongering " by the drug industry is promoting

non-existent illnesses or exaggerating minor ones for the sake of profits,

according to a set of essays published by the open-access journal *Public

Library of Science Medicine.*
