There are some physicians who say DTC ads are a good thing

March 8, 2007

Hard to believe:

The National Medical Association (NMA) today released results of a membership survey that overwhelmingly indicate that NMA physicians are even more positive toward direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising now than they were in 2001. Further, NMA physicians said that consumer-focused advertising of prescription medications provides substantial educational benefits and enriches the doctor-patient dialogue.

Why is this hard to believe? Money talks – just look at BiDil’s path to approval.
