Background
Many bloggers in The Pharma Blogosphere have connections with the pharmaceutical industry. Either they work for consulting companies or agencies that have pharmaceutical clients or they actually work inside pharmaceutical companies.
Cary Byrd is different. He has an axe to grind with the industry, but mostly over drug prices and the issue of re-importation of drugs from Canada. Cary has a vested interest in helping Americans purchase safe, low-cost prescription drugs from prescreened international pharmacies. His website, eDrugsearch.com, was recently launched to provide that service.
His company blog, eDrugSerach Blog, obviously helps Cary get the word out about cheap drugs from Canada, but he often covers other topics as well.
