FDA finds new ways to increase Merck’s revenues

FDA approves wider market for schizophrenia drug Saphris.

The drug was first approved in August 2009 for treating acute schizophrenia episodes in adults and acute mania or manic-depressive behavior in adults with bipolar disorder.
 Merck says the FDA now has approved Saphris for ongoing treatment of schizophrenia and for treating acute mania or manic-depressive behavior in adult bipolar patients along with lithium, a mood-stabilizing drug often used to treat mania, or the antiseizure drug valproate.

This raises the perennial, but naive question “Who exactly is the Food and Drug Aministration working for?”
