I think that pharmaceutical companies have to get more intelligent in their marketing efforts. I believe that part of that will be marketing to group practices and organizations (both large and small). In fact, I'm banking on it and have built a nationwide affiliation database. Only a couple of pharmaceutical companies have been using our database on an ongoing basis, but many others have purchased "one-time" data feeds for "special" marketing campaigns.

Comment on Bleeding stents ... Is the drug-eluting stent era over?

Drug Eluting Stent
After drug coated stents gained widespread use, experts noticed that the rate of fatal or nonfatal blood clots increased beyond those for patients who did not receive a drug-coated stent . The clotting risk was confirmed in medical trials. Thus, the FDA now recommends that patients who receive drug-eluting stents also be given dual anti-platelet therapy -- for example, Plavix (clopidogrel) and aspirin -- for a year after they receive the device.

Personal view, the Internet is an information carrier, put in pharmaceutical advertising there is anything wrong, and the key is the content of the advertisement must be strictly audited, not exaggerated, so that consumers will also help to popularize medical knowledge.
