The company is not interested in search engine rank.  The company's
main interest is to make sure sales of their products remain strong. 
It will be interesting to see if the PFDA website gets printed on
every OTC product containing DXM.  (Talk about your search engine
optimization!)  

I haven't looked at your website recently, but I'd be concerned about
using specific brand and company names.  Companies can get
particularly vicious over protecting their territory.  You like a
challenge?  Be careful what you wish for.
