House was at least in part based on Sherlock Holmes who infamously had his 7% Cocaine solution. It's not entirely unreasonable to think the writers of House would update that to be pills.

Not everything is some vast conspiracy...

Except that this was such a small detail on Sherlock Holmes novels that few people remember it.

It's such a "small detail" that nearly every modern interpretation of the character likes to portray it for the "fans"

Except that the author of one of the best of Holmes pastiche novels, Nicholas Meyer, titled one of his books "The Seven Percent Solution."

"vast conspiracy"?

How would "hey we can include your product in our TV show" be a "vast conspiracy"? It's done all the time, with no one hiding any aspect of the business.
