Seroquel For Anorexia, Pfizer's Bikini Contest

I've joked before that AstraZeneca is trialing Seroquel for every malady under the sun. Now, CL Psych has a post about AZ testing it for use in anorexics with hyperglycemia. Bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia, children, autism, ODD, ADD, addiction, public speaking and anorexia. You've got to hand it to the AZ folks--they cover the waterfront. How an atypical might help hyperglycemia, given the sugary track record of these meds, is beyond me.

Speaking of covering the waterfront, PharmaGossip has turned up yet another odd pharma marketing event that's shown up on You Tube. This one appears to be a bikini contest in Latin America brought to you by Viagra.

I'm sure those with anorexia are just lining up to participate in that clinical trial.
