My comments: So thyroid and arthritis drugs are at the top of the list. RCPI research targets include: Osteoarthritis, Ulcerative Colitis, Psoriasis, Smoking Cessation, and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. The RCPI targets includes the top drugs on the 'most prescribed' and 'best-selling' lists. Not to mention the potential elephant in the room: Alzheimers.'
