Description:
The paper discusses how according to Fenter (2006), Prozac (fluoxetine manufactured by Eli Lilly) is the most widely recognized drug of its kind, a fact that is partially due to the overwhelmingly funded and widely distributed marketing of the drug by its manufacturer, Eli Lilly. The paper relates that with 17% of all Americans receiving prescriptions for Prozac and similar antidepressants, such campaigns have had a vast impact on the popularity of these prescriptions, and of course profits (Pirisi 1999). The paper notes that fluoxetine is also used for additional disorders whose treatment with the drug has yet to be evaluated by the FDA and Prozac and other SSRIs have been associated with a host of side effects.
