Allergan, the maker of Botox, agreed on Wednesday to pay $600 million to settle charges that it illegally promoted and sold the drug through 2005 for unapproved uses like treating headaches. (Neww York Time).

And the Allergan whistleblowers received $38 million!!!!!!!
 


















Alcon is already on it. What a piece of shit this company is. Did they think they can get away with it????

What do you mean Alcon is on it? Zymar is a Allergan product off labeled by Allergan.Alllergan employee needs to blow the whistle on Zymars kick -backs and off labeling.I know I use to sale Zymar for off label cataract surgery and wine dine the the eye docs.Left the industry now.
But what you said about Alcon being on it.Does not make sense.Please explain.

If you have real evidence of off-label marketing for Zymar, you should contact an experienced whistleblower firm. It would be a repeat violation for Allergan, and the award could be huge because of it. Look what happened to Pfizer--$2.3 billion for repeat violations. Maybe $600 million doesn't hurt that much, but $2.3 billion sure would.

Zymar hahahahahaha


BOTOX YOU IDIOT!! They had people going out to offices and teaching them to cheat CMS and the government by billing for improper diagnosis codes!

Why would anyone in the industry "cave" to a manager, RBD, or anyone else within a company, That pressures them to promote off label when they could just as easily gather the documentation and blow the shitheads in? As harshly as that question comes across, I'd love to hear an answer from someone who felt "trapped" in that position. I clearly must be missing something, having never experienced that type of pressure, but I honestly can't imagine just "going with the flow" and "hoping" someone doesn't get wise to what's up. Everytime I hear this happen to a company my first thought is always... "Shoot, I wish someone would be foolish enough, just once, to assume I'd keep my mouth shut." My sympathies to anyone caught up in it!
