Is Asthma UK involved with pharmaceutical company research?
As an independent charity, Asthma UK’s research programme is totally independent from pharmaceutical research. We aim to share information on all the latest developments in asthma research and drug treatments, through the website and in our publications, but we do not promote or endorse specific drugs. As a charity dependent on voluntary donations, we do rely on support from individuals and industry bodies; approximately 2% of our income originates from pharmaceutical companies. Asthma UK reviews its policies regularly and we will continue to work with industry where we believe it is in the interests of people with asthma.
