Problems With The Placebo Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are always conducted to measure the performance of the medicine by comparing the results of between the two sets of people. The set who does not receive the experimental treatment are said to receive the placebo treatment. The problem at this juncture is these placebo treatments are being faked by the pharmaceutical companies. The medicine given in the placebo treatment is supposed to be inert but, they are not. The pills given the placebo are given to raise the betterment the experimental drug.  

How does this happen? If the clinical trial is being conducted to measure the performance of the pill the improves the health of the heart. The placebo treatment will be given a pill the spoils the health of the heart and there results show high performance of the experimental drug. The ingredients of the placebo treatment should be detailed to avoid any such circumstances. Then your clinical research will be intended on giving a best medicine or treatment to the outside world rather than pushing the experimented drug into the market with no results.
