Web site aims to provide Rx info without pharma influence

Web site aims to provide Rx info without pharma influence

An online resource aims to provide physicians and consumers fair and
balanced prescription information without pharma industry influence. The
site, www.prescribingforbetteroutcomes.org , from The University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was designed to provide accurate
information about the uses of antiepileptic drugs for the treatment of
bipolar disorder and to counter off-label marketing. The site will later
be expanded to include information about other prescription drugs. Until
then, it aims to help clinicians and consumers better understand
research about the efficacy of antiepileptic drugs using unbiased
analysis of published research.
