Book excerpt: Direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising of prescription products is the promotion of prescription-only medicine (POM) to the general public through commercial media. It is a new promotional tool for prescription drugs. Traditionally, pharmaceutical companies have promoted their products to licensed health care professionals only; any direct communication with consumers has been avoided. In the USA and New Zealand, however, DTC advertising is officially allowed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of publicity and congressional attention to drug safety issues, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requested the Institute of Medicine assess the drug safety system. The committee reported that a lack of clear regulatory authority, chronic underfunding, organizational problems, and a scarcity of post-approval data about drugs' risks and benefits have hampered the FDA's ability to evaluate and address the safety of prescription drugs after they have reached the market. Noting that resources and therefore efforts to monitor medications' riskâ€"benefit profiles taper off after approval, The Future of Drug Safety offers a broad set of recommendations to ensure that consideration of safety extends from before product approval through the entire time the product is marketed and used.

Download or read book Direct-to-consumer Advertising of Prescription Pharmaceuticals - a Prescription for Change written by Lindsay Norris Brown and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 1997 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guideline change allowed pharmaceutical companies to target audiences through television and print media whereas before, the FDA requirements were so extensive that advertising to consumers was unprofitable. The onslaught of advertisements for prescription pharmaceuticals since 1997 has resulted in an increase in drugs prescribed to consumers, and a higher likelihood of a consumer receiving a prescription for a requested drug when that drug has been advertised. The informational value of advertisements to consumers varies widely, and the majority of consumers hold misperceptions about the federal requirements of pharmaceutical advertisements, many believing that the advertisements are government-approved or that the drugs advertised are "completely safe". The literature review revealed that the arguments supporting direct-to-consumer advertising (DTCA) of prescription pharmaceuticals were theoretical in nature and unfounded while the research supported the conclusion that DTCA causes a net harm to societal health. A criteria-alternative matrix was used to evaluate various public policy alternatives using four criteria: cost to implement, effect on the cost of medications, effect on societal health, and effect on reducing the number of drug advertisements in violation of FDA guidelines. After evaluating how well the policy alternatives satisfy the criteria, the alternatives were further assessed to determine how feasible they would be to implement considering the current political climate. The policy alternative with the greatest benefit to society is a ban on DTCA in the U.S, however, that policy alternative is the least likely to be implemented due to the current political climate and the influence of the pharmaceutical industry. As other countries consider allowing DTCA, it is essential that they take note of the deleterious effect DTCA has had in the United States.

This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to remarkable advances in modern health care attributable to science, engineering, and medicine, it is now possible to cure or manage illnesses that were long deemed untreatable. At the same time, however, the United States is facing the vexing challenge of a seemingly uncontrolled rise in the cost of health care. Total medical expenditures are rapidly approaching 20 percent of the gross domestic product and are crowding out other priorities of national importance. The use of increasingly expensive prescription drugs is a significant part of this problem, making the cost of biopharmaceuticals a serious national concern with broad political implications. Especially with the highly visible and very large price increases for prescription drugs that have occurred in recent years, finding a way to make prescription medicinesâ€"and health care at largeâ€"more affordable for everyone has become a socioeconomic imperative. Affordability is a complex function of factors, including not just the prices of the drugs themselves, but also the details of an individual's insurance coverage and the number of medical conditions that an individual or family confronts. Therefore, any solution to the affordability issue will require considering all of these factors together. The current high and increasing costs of prescription drugsâ€"coupled with the broader trends in overall health care costsâ€"is unsustainable to society as a whole. Making Medicines Affordable examines patient access to affordable and effective therapies, with emphasis on drug pricing, inflation in the cost of drugs, and insurance design. This report explores structural and policy factors influencing drug pricing, drug access programs, the emerging role of comparative effectiveness assessments in payment policies, changing finances of medical practice with regard to drug costs and reimbursement, and measures to prevent drug shortages and foster continued innovation in drug development. It makes recommendations for policy actions that could address drug price trends, improve patient access to affordable and effective treatments, and encourage innovations that address significant needs in health care.

Book excerpt: In this hard-hitting indictment of the pharmaceutical industry, Ray Moynihan and Allan Cassels show how drug companies are systematically using their dominating influence in the world of medical science, drug companies are working to widen the very boundaries that define illness. Mild problems are redefined as serious illness, and common complaints are labeled as medical conditions requiring drug treatments. Runny noses are now allergic rhinitis, PMS has become a psychiatric disorder, and hyperactive children have ADD. Selling Sickness reveals how expanding the boundaries of illness and lowering the threshold for treatments is creating millions of new patients and billions in new profits, in turn threatening to bankrupt national healthcare systems all over the world. This Canadian edition includes an introduction placing the issue in a Canadian context and describing why Canadians should be concerned about the problem.

Download or read book Reducing Race Differences in Direct-to-Consumer Pharmaceutical Advertising written by Stephany De Scisciolo and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-08-31 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reducing health disparities by increasing access to health information is a national health policy priority. Evidence exists that direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising (DTCA) is effective in educating consumers about health issues. However, racial disparities exist in such advertising. In 2009, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a report that included recommendations for enhancing the ability of DTCA to reach disadvantaged populations, including racial and ethnic minorities. Reducing Race Differences in Direct to Consumer Pharmaceutical Advertising compares the pharmaceutical advertisements placed in five popular women’s magazines published prior to and following the 2009 FDA report to assess the impact of these recommendations on the content and appearance of advertisements placed in magazines of differing racial orientation. From a health policy perspective, the results are disappointing. The FDA recommendations had no impact on the frequency or content of the DTCA appearing in White-oriented versus Black-oriented magazines. In fact, far fewer drugs used to treat life-threatening conditions were advertised in Black-oriented magazines after the 2009 FDA recommendations. The book concludes that enhancing the educational and motivational value of DTCA will require more than a set of recommendations. The results shed light on the pharmaceutical industry’s compliance with both hard and soft regulation. Neither federal recommendations nor industry guidelines resulted in the changes to DTCA envisioned by the FDA. Regulatory action is necessary to ensure that pharmaceutical companies develop advertising campaigns that not only promote their products, but also positively impact the health outcomes of those who read their ads.
