if the Minnesota Multi-State Contracting Alliance for Pharmacy bought huge amounts of anti-depressant Cymbalta from the Eli Lily company, they would receive a 5% discount, so long as their physicians agreed not to:
- point out when doctors were prescribing Cymbalta inappropriately
- point out that their institution seemed to be overprescribing Cymbalta
- describe side effects caused by Cymbalta without also mentioning the benefits of Cymbalta
- point out that other drugs might be cheaper than Cymbalta
- poke holes in Eli Lily’s claims about Cymbalta
