what is a big deal about this illegal marketing exactly, anyway?

what does it mean to be illegally marketed? is that similar in meaning to if cigarette companies advertised?

kahljorn there were actually two charges brought against the subsidiary- one was that a 12 million dollar kickback was given to a pharmacy benefit manager to add Genotropin to a list of reccomended products to health insurers, the second charge was that Genotropin was being promoted for uses not approved by the FDA.
