The medical copywriter in the pharmaceutical industry: an uphill climb after a downhill slide.
Drug Inf J 1977 Oct-Dec; 11:(4):215-7

Abstract:

To remain functional and in operation, the drug industry must inform the medical health teams about its drugs. Whatever form they receive their information, physicians will have to read the medical writer’s drug information communication-be it a brochure accompanying a scientific exhibit, a product monograph, the information in a drug compendium or direct mail.
