== Criticism == The impartiality of the domain was questioned, because Eli Lilly and Company, Merck & Co., and Pfizer are the main contributors to the NABP application. Previously, the application was challenged by Public Citizen, Knowledge Ecology International, and the Canadian International Pharmacy Association.
