Now that the FDA has forced GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) to put a "black label" on its diabetes drug Avandia, the competition is going for a coup de grace.
Takeda Pharmaceutical Co Ltd said on Thursday it was planning a major U.S. advertising campaign for diabetes drug Actos — one day after a new safety warning was issued on rival product Avandia, according to Reuters. The news service adds "the ads will run in 82 local newspapers and in several news weeklies, starting on Friday, under the headline "Actos has been shown to lower blood sugar without increasing your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.".
Never let it be said that the drug company executives are nice people.
