This flier came attached to the July issue of The Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. Topicort Spray is hardly a unique product and it will run a patient ~ $600 for what appears to be a 60 ml bottle. The business of PhRMA is business. The business of a professional society should be knowledge and service.
Sir Thomas Browne famously wrote: No one should enter the Temple of Science with the soul of a money changer. The leaders of our professional societies should follow that precept.
