E-DRUG: News item unethical marketing US (cont)
-----------------------------------------------
The story refers to the efforts of Knoll to suppress a study by researchers
at the University of California, San Francisco that Knoll itself had funded
and which showed Synthroid and some generic levothyroxine competitors to be
bioequivalent. A full description of the events surrounding this can be
found at Public Citizen's website at

and also at Rennie D. Thyroid storm. JAMA. 1997 Apr 16;277(15):1238-43.
