Glaxo Discloses Doctor Payments For First Time

December 16, 2009

All the pressure on drugmakers to fess up publicly about the money they pay doctors is, er, paying off. Just take a look at GlaxoSmithKline’s first-ever report on how much it forked over to U.S. doctors and other health professionals for speaking and consulting gigs. For the three months ending in June, the drug maker paid $14.6 million to about 3,700 people, or an average of about $3,900. (NPR)
