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

Please conduct an ethical analysis for the following specific business scenario: A pharmaceutical company discovers that its best-selling drug has a minor but foreseeable side effect with long-term use, increasing cardiovascular risk for patients, but discontinuing the drug would cause病情 worsening for some dependent patients. Please evaluate whether the company should proactively recall the drug and disclose side effects, combining the utilitarian principle of maximizing happiness for the greatest number with the deontological requirement of respecting patient autonomy and informed consent. Weigh the short-term financial loss against long-term brand trust and legal liability from the perspectives of stakeholders (patients, shareholders, employees, public), and finally provide a specific action recommendation that balances moral responsibility and corporate sustainability, explaining how this recommendation balances the interests of all parties.
