Big Pharma front groups are suppressing information on Google and Bing about affordable drug prices. So, we filed a lawsuit.
The pharmaceutical and pharmacy industries wish to keep the U.S. a captive market, so naturally they oppose Americans having the option to buy their drugs at lower cost from pharmacies outside the U.S. We have helped inform consumers of this option for years and, as a result, have been targeted by Big Pharma.
We have filed a lawsuit that we hope will bring justice to American consumers and restore competition that makes drugs more affordable.
Google and Microsoft’s Bing have let Big Pharma front groups strategically suppress and manipulate search results, limiting Americans’ access to information about more affordable drugs and lower cost pharmacies, such as those located in Canada.
To end these anti-competitive practices, the lawsuit filed is charging a conspiracy among several groups allied with Big Pharma, and we have requested a preliminary injunction to bring immediate relief. But this conspiracy doesn’t have to stop patients from accessing pharmacy and price information from PharmacyChecker.com. And it cannot stop you from signing a petition telling Google and Bing to stop letting Big Pharma dictate the drug prices and pharmacies you get to see!

The suit alleges that the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), LegitScript, and three Pharma front groups are operating a coordinated campaign to suppress market competition, artificially inflate the price of prescription drugs, and spread misinformation to scare consumers away from international online pharmacies. As part of this, they have also targeted PharmacyChecker.com, which operates a rigorous online pharmacy verification program that helps consumers identify accredited online pharmacies, including those in Canada, and provides comparisons of their drug prices.
For example, a month’s supply of the diabetes medication, Januvia, costs around $479 in the U.S., but, as shown on PharmacyChecker.com, only $114 from a Canadian pharmacy and as little as $25 from pharmacies in other countries. Online pharmacies accredited through the PharmacyChecker Verification Program process prescription drug orders that are filled by licensed pharmacies that require a valid prescription and do not sell controlled drugs into the United States.
People deserve unbiased, unfiltered access to safe, affordable medication.
