description The impact of prescription drug promotion on health-care professionals (HCPs) is significant. Pharmaceutical industry spending on promotion to HCPs greatly outpaces spending on direct-to-consumer promotion.

Although prescription drug promotion can provide valuable information about drug therapies, it is essential that it be truthful, balanced, and not misleading, because HCPs may consider this information when making treatment decisions for their patients.
