Generics Are Powerful Medicine (GPM) is a national consumer education program that uses grassroots outreach techniques to educate low-income and underinsured populations about the safety, value and effectiveness of generic drugs.
GPM was established with $613,000 in funding from cy pres awards from the settlements of lawsuits with Smith Kline Beecham and Glaxo-Smith-Kline. These pharmaceutical firms allegedly used illegal tactics to prevent generic versions of the drugs, Augmentin and Relafen respectively, from entering the market.
GPM began in 2007 and will end in the fall of 2009. The project is a joint effort of Community Catalyst and The Alosa Foundation.
