Informulary
Informulary is a health research and information company.
Informulary publishes drug fact boxes.[1] Consumers are one of the target audiences for these fact boxes.[2] The organization assumes that consumer choice is important in deciding when to take drugs.[3]
Inforumulary was founded by Lisa Schwartz and Steven Woloshin, who are both professors at The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice.[1]
Woloshin and Schwartz have been criticized for their complaints about weight loss drugs.[4] Through Informulary, Woloshin and Schwartz have criticized antidepressant use.[5]
