Unethical trials of dipyrone in Thailand.
Lancet 1988 Dec 24-31; 2:(8626-8627):1491
Abstract:
Three clinical trials of dipyrone in Thailand appear to be promotional in nature. All three were designed, initiated and sponsored by Hoechst. Sponsoring clinical trials seems to be an integral part of Hoechst’s strategy to delay stricter regulation or withdrawal of dipyrone.
