Provides a comprehensive analysis framework based on utilitarianism and deontology for specific ethical dilemmas in business operations, assisting managers in making morally sound decisions.

Please analyze the following specific ethical dilemma encountered in business operations: A pharmaceutical company discovers that its long-marketed common drug has mild but irreversible neurological side effects with long-term use, but stopping the medication could lead to worsening conditions for some patients. Please evaluate the moral rationality of three options—continuing sales, proactive recall, or label modification—by combining the impact on overall social welfare from a utilitarian perspective with patient informed consent and safety responsibilities from a deontological perspective, and provide a recommended decision path that balances commercial interests with patient rights, ensuring the analysis is logically rigorous and aligns with modern business ethics standards.
