Legal Extortion

Pay us and we wont bother you. God forbid the Doctors have any responsibility in this and to actually READ what the FDA approves and does not approve. WTH is the world coming to?

Serostim (recombinant DNA somatropin) is Serono's brand name prescription drug form of synthetic growth hormone , marketed for AIDS wasting.[1]

In December 2007, the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts settled a class-action lawsuit that involved Merck Serono and the drug Serostim. The lawsuit claims that Merck Serono encouraged doctors to prescribe Serostim off-label for criteria that were not approved by the FDA. Merck Serono denies these claims and any liability. However, Merck Serono has entered into a settlement "solely to avoid the further expense, inconvenience, burden, and uncertainty of these lawsuits."

The settlement will pay consumers of Serostim who paid the full cash amount or a co-payment as part of their medical treatment.

happens all the time.
In the states you get bombarded with commercials for lawyers who want people to join a class action suit because people had reactions listed on the bottle or had side effects that were little known at the time.
