What you should know about the FTC
J Am Pharm Assoc. 1975 Dec; 15:(12):668-77
Abstract:
The full text of the American Pharmaceutical Association’s formal comment to the proposed Federal Trade Commission, (FTC) trade regulations on prescription price disclosure is reproduced. In its comments, the APhA questions the claim that the FTC’s investigation of prescription price disclosure was a fair and objective fact finding effort. The FTC is further charged with misunderstanding the nature of pharmacy practice and contributing to the creation of a monopoly in the drug marketplace. Texts of correspondence relating to APhA’s reply are given in appendices to the main letter.
