Abstract:
To the Editor: Why are those who market officially sanctioned information about pharmaceutical products not constrained by the advertising standards imposed on those who sell these products? Medicines Australia, which formulates a code of conduct for the pharmaceutical industry, imposes penalties, both financial and withdrawal of offending material, against misleading advertising of pharmaceutical products1,2 Why are similar standards not applied to advertising of information about these products?
