'A textbook example of disease mongering by the pharmaceutical industry is the case of Requip for Restless Leg Syndrome.'
What is Requip and Mirapex?
'Requip is a powerful drug for Parkinson’s Disease. Requip is also used to treat movement disorders caused by anti-psychotic drugs for mental patients (such as Prolixin and Haldol). Mirapex is similar to Requip.
Adverse side effects of Requip includes compulsive gambling and hypersexual behavior.(1)

This is typical drug mongering indicative of a broken medical system.'
