Johnson & Johnson

Johnson & Johnson, based in New Brunswick, N.J., produces a wide range of consumer products, drugs and medical devices. Two of its divisions, Ortho-McNeil and Ortho-McNeil-Janssen, agreed to pay $81 million in April 2010 to settle civil and criminal charges of illegally promoting the epilepsy drug Topamax. The company has since renamed the divisions.

Johnson & Johnson is comprised of several subsidiaries that each report information separately. The subsidiaries in Dollars for Docs include Janssen Pharmaceuticals (the largest), Janssen Therapeutics, Janssen Biotech and Janssen Global Services. The units began reporting payments made in 2010 for speaking, consulting, post-marketing safety surveillance, meals and travel.

Each subsidiary reports on a different schedule, but in Dollars for Docs the payments are grouped together as Johnson & Johnson. The subsidiary is listed within each payment page.Merck began reporting payments to health professionals for speaking as of July 2009. Its report included the number of events and the topic areas covered. Its 2011 report limited its disclosure of those payments to physicians only. The 2011 report included for the first time speaking activities related to companies it acquired, including Schering Plough and Inspire Pharmaceuticals.
