[edit] Independence of this organization
I wonder how independent this outfit is. There's no indication of what their income source is, and they seem to be trying to dissuade people from buying generic drugs (like bupropion). --Paul Abrahams (talk) 18:48, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- As is evident from their website, their revenue is simply the annual subscription fee they charge members. If they dissuade people from buying certain generic drugs, my uninformed guess is that it could be because a significant variety of generic versions of those specific drugs were found by them to contain less-than-advertised amounts or impurity-ridden amounts of the drug. As far as I know, they do not have any vested interests in any pharmaceutical companies. As for bupropion, they do provide an explanation for their recommendations, which you are probably already aware of. --AB (talk) 02:22, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
