There are many conspiracies revolving around pharmaceutical companies and the role they play in profiting off of keeping people sick and dependent on their drugs rather than actually curing their illnesses. Moreover, pharmaceutical companies are also said to invent and brand many things that are not diseases or disorders and then create the treatments to generate a steady income stream of people treating non-existent or greatly exaggerated diseases.

It is also said that many of the drug companies work closely with the government to create monopolies and raise the barrier of entry for smaller drug companies to compete. By doing so, they make it tricky for a smaller company to introduce an superior product without being able to get the proper approval from various government agencies such as the FDA.
