Deadly Medicines and Organised Crime: How Big Pharma Has Corrupted Healthcare is a book by Peter C. Gøtzsche with forewords by Richard Smith and Drummond Rennie.

The book says that activities by major pharmaceutical companies include corruption, fraud, bribery, and omission of data to market their products.

While all drugs have side effects not all have benefits, the influx of money by pharma undercuts regulation, education, and scientific integrity.

According to Farhat Yaqub, Gøtzsche is an outspoken and knowledgeable critic who wrote the book to “influence policy towards much more transparency”.
