Please analyze the ethical conflict involved in the following business scenario: A pharmaceutical company discovers that its marketed drug has minor but non-fatal side effects with long-term use, yet stopping the medication carries higher risks. Please evaluate whether the company should proactively recall the drug and disclose information, combining the utilitarian principle of the greatest happiness for the greatest number with the deontological requirement of respecting patient autonomy and informed consent. Consider the impacts on multiple stakeholders including shareholders, patient safety, legal compliance, and corporate reputation, and provide an ethical decision recommendation that balances these interests, explaining how this decision achieves a balance between moral responsibility and business sustainability.
