Must read- Marketing OVERDOSE
http://marketingoverdose.org/documents/ci_pharma_2007.pdf
Quote from report:
"This report reveals that the pharmaceutical industry’s
marketing practices in developing countries blatantly and
with relative impunity continue to:
• Unduly influence prescribing patterns of health
professionals
• Promote irrational drug use among consumers
• Exercise double standards in the information contained
in promotional material for these countries compared
to industrialised countries"
ahem... pharma marketers, found your conscience yet?
