60 minutes. Pitching Prozac
Description
In 2002, hundreds of people in Florida opened their mailboxes and found, in and among the junk mail and bills, padded envelopes full of powerful prescription drugs. Each package contained a one-month starter supply of Prozac Weekly, a new anti-depressant made by pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly. None of the people had asked for the drugs or knew they were coming. How could that happen? It was a marketing scheme for pitching Prozac - spearheaded by Eli Lilly sales reps - but also involving doctors, pharmacies and the medical records of unsuspecting patients. Correspondent Vicki Mabrey reports.
