<div dir="ltr">Part of me sides with the mega-corp drug companies on this; though that's a rare siding. The cost of bringing a new drug to market is probably not recouped in less than 10 years. They also have to cover the costs of drugs that don't make it to market. Don't if if something will work, and be approved, until you succeed. <br>
