A great example of this is the SSRI drugs that combat depression. Each drugs works with different results on different people. If we started and stopped with Prozac or Paxil, there would be many people who wouldn't benefit from the two but would benefit from the others. Furthermore, many people experience different side effects from different depression drugs. If there was only one SSRI then people would be stuck with whatever side effects they get. As it is many people cannot find one SSRI that works for them. It would be a shame if they didn't have more than one to try. <BR/><BR/>For these reasons, I would argue that what you call "me, too" drugs are actually not all the same and that there are many benefits for them in society.Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06828186501786929222noreply@blogger.com
