Public fight against doping promotes selling and using steroids

One may believe that steroid scandals must have negative influence on pharmaceutical companies that produce these preparations. But manufacturers of these medicines find ways to take advantages of various steroid scandals. So, pharmaceutical companies utilize them in order to promote selling own products.
Let take as an example the case of the government and anti-doping officials against Barry Bonds. Although one may suppose that this steroid scandal must suppress purchase of several medications, the reality has displayed opposite things. The pharmaceutical company Abbott Laboratories could take advantage of the case. The company found numerous opportunities to advertise transdermal testosterone because of the accusations related to Barry Bonds’ doping.
It was confirmed that the former baseball player Barry Bonds used the transdermal testosterone product “AndroGel”. Of course, numerous reporters published news about this case. The pharmaceutical company Abbott Laboratories utilized this public scandal and started to advertise this product. Numerous Barry Bonds’ fans started obtaining and using this gel. This situation influenced on profits of Abbot Laboratories significantly. According to certain sources, the profits of the company turned out to be great.
Testosterone products are widely prescribed and taken. A lot of people administer them for hormone replacement therapy. The number of steroid prescriptions has enhanced by 90 % during last five years. Thus, the number of those that apply steroids is growing.
The pharmaceutical company Abbott Laboratories manufactures and sells the testosterone product “AndroGel”. Since other companies noticed that testosterone gel was in high demand, they also began to produce it. Thus, such medicines, as  AndroDream and Axiron, appeared. While AndroDream is produced by Watson Pharmaceuticals, Axiron is sold by Eli Lilly.
Pharmaceutical companies promote selling their medications. They claim that steroids improve men’s health. It goes without any saying that any company comprehends that since many men suffer from insufficient secretion of testosterone and since these preparations are taken for gaining of muscles and energy, the number of potential clients is great.
