Overview • Though the global economy has seen a significant slow down in recent times. The Pharmaceutical Industry seems to have held its own. • The industry has maintained a growth rates nearly double that of a large economy at large this growth may well continue as drugs consumption is expected to increase with growing global health problems. • Pharmaceutical companies commonly spend a large amount on advertising, marketing and lobbying. Advertising is common in healthcare journals as well as through more mainstream media routes.
Cont..…… • In some countries they are allowed to advertise direct to the general public. • Pharmaceutical companies generally employ sales people (often called 'drug representative' or, an older term, 'detail men') to market directly and personally to physicians and other healthcare providers. • Medical Representatives are carefully selected, trained rigorously, and equipped with detailed product information. They should know their products inside out and work hard to understand the medical science on which those products are based. • Marketing of prescription drugs in the US is regulated by the federal Prescription Drug Marketing Act of 1987 where as in India especially for Maharashtra ( Mumbai) we have to approach “Maharashtra State Chemist & Druggist Association” & “All India Organization of Chemists & Druggist”
