We applaud our allies at PharmacyChecker.com for filing a lawsuit against several Big Pharma front groups that have created shadow regulation through private agreements with Internet gatekeepers and search engines.
This is significant for everyone who supports lowering high drug prices and prescription importation, specifically. The lawsuit claims that these groups are involved in a “conspiracy” to keep lower priced medications available through online pharmacies out of reach for millions of Americans through engaging in devious tactics and spreading misinformation.
As Tod Cooperman, M.D., founder and CEO of PharmacyChecker.com, states in the press release:
“We have fought Pharma rhetoric for many years. But now we need the courts to fight what we see as an underhanded flow of misinformation distorting online search results, denying Americans information to safely access affordable medicine. As prescription drug prices continue to soar in the U.S., the whole country should be watching this case because it affects everyone.”
The complaint is a must-read for anyone who is interested in access to safe and affordable medications through importation.
We support efforts to expose nefarious tactics by Big Pharma and others intended to keep prices high and block attempts to access safe and affordable medications through licensed, legitimate online pharmacies in Canada.
