Pharmaceutical Kerfuffle: P&G and Sanofi-Aventis Allege Unthruthful Ads

Published on January 06, 2006
Proctor & Gamble Pharmaceuticals and Sanofi-Aventis have alleged that Roche Pharmaceuticals and GlaxoSmithKline's advertising for Boniva is false and misleading, and have filed suit, Adweek writes. The suit alleges that Roche and Glaxo falsely claimed - in ads aimed at both physicians and consumers - that Boniva has been proven to reduce the risk of non-spinal fractures and proven itself compared with other drugs such as Actonel, according to UPI. Glaxo and Roche have denied wrongdoing.
