I think all of us will have (or already having) problems and they are
not just related to drugs.
It's called the 'Internet'. Direct to consumer advertising of
prescription only medicines is still banned in the UK and many European
countries.
However, the Internet makes that DTC advertising so easy and so
universal. Not only that, but consumers have access to unfinished or
half cooked trials and innovations in beta!
What can we do about it? This is one of the questions that vex
organisations like the BHIA and IHC.
