This paper is concern with legal and ethical issues in advertising, marketing, regulations and intellectual property of product safety with respect to PharmaCARE which is a pharmaceutical company. The paper includes the information regarding drug companies, Direct to Consumers (DTC) marketing. Next we will

This paper takes the stand that direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising of pharmaceutical drugs is unethical. This stand is based on the belief that many developed countries in the world have banned such kind of advertising because they believe that it is unethical. I believe that the advertising of pharmaceutical drugs is unethical because it gives consumers hope that a specific drug can cure their disease. However, this might not be the case as only a qualified medical practitioner can prescribe the right medication to treat a particular disease or condition. This is a major issue given that many consumers might prefer to be treated with an advertized pharmaceutical drug, yet it might not be the best drug for their specific ailment. It is believed

The first step is to locate and define the problem or desired research issue. The second step is to formulate a hypothesis and decide which method of hypothesis testing should be conducted such as exploratory research, descriptive research, or causal research. The third step is to collect data as primary of secondary such as surveys, observations or rely on other methods such as the census. The forth step is to

Today’s media coverage does not truly report accurately on what has happened, but rather focus on their point of views and how they perceived the events. They mix in their flavor of the news and try to sway in their audience to switch or reaffirm their point of view. News reporting today has become “What I see is what you should see.” New sources today are filled with preconceived opinions relying on the theoretical what-ifs. Some, however, force their point of views on the readers, but there are the ones that reveal both sides forcing the reader to formulate their own take on President Trump and his claim on the booming market.

Nowadays, in an ever-changing global business era, companies face a lot of ethical and legal issues in the market while implementing strategies and activities. The global organizations have to face various kinds of moral and legal problems in the current business environment. The companies need to follow the regulations, laws, and ethics. This paper assesses and analysis ethical matters relating to marketing and advertising of drug, intellectual property of AD 23 and regulation of product safety. Moreover, this paper also arguments for or against DTC (Direct-to-Consumer) Marketing by pharmaceutical companies. It determines the responsibilities of the parties for regulating compounding pharmacies according to the current regulatory scheme as well as describes PharmaCARE could face legal exposure surrounding its practices.

Some people believe pharmacy should be allowed to advertise prescription medical, they think that it give consumers valuable information, others disagrees, and believe that pharmacy shouldn’t be allowed to advertise prescription medical on TV because it compromise kinds of carry giving to patients. The pharmacy companies should not be allowed advertise prescription drugs on TV because prescription drugs should only be allowed to doctors and physicians, it’s up to their doctors to decide if the patients will be benefit from the drugs without pressure form the patients, they know everything and particular drugs consumers need, while a person who learned about the

First step of the scientific research process is to develop a research question. It means, researchers need to decide the topic they are interested to study. They also need to get fund for their research project on first steps to make their research success. Second step is, researchers need to design their research based on what they are going study. Their third step is to collect the data by doing interviews, surveys and web searches. Fourth step is to analyze and organize the data to discover patterns. Fifth step is to make conclusions of research. After developing strong conclusions, they can imply it on broader populations.

Another issue is too much power is given to scientists in decision-making of candidate drugs. Also there were inadequacies and lack of communication between marketing and research. Merck’s marketing and research needed to realize that the making of the drug is not only the most important part in increasing sales, but it also included a strong advertising campaign that will satisfy the needs of the customers.

According to Elkins, “It (Prescription drugs) kills more people than car accidents every year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) classified it as an epidemic and the World Health Organization (WHO) reported it threatened the achievements of modern medicine.” The thesis question in mind that will be researched is the effects of Prescription (Pharmaceutical) Drugs have on people. One focus happens to be the core reason as to how, and exactly why, prescription medication is able to be abused, and thus, addictive. Next, a look into some specific examples as to the negative affect Pharmaceutical Drugs has on a person’s life, as well as possibly their family’s lives, for the rest of their lives’. A final avenue that will be explored will include how, prescription drugs are over prescribed causing immunity to a drug and causing people to become addicted. From my point of view I believe that prescription drugs are more harmful than they are helpful. The more those drugs are over prescribed is the more likely people are to get addicted, become immune, and cause uproar in families.

Every book is an escape into a new world, filled with individuals with problems much like ours, or maybe not. As the protagonist conquers challenges and learns important lessons, I too am changing. By taking note of their mistakes, their fears, their triumphs and comparing it to myself, I should become a better person, right? However, books are only read (and sold) when they are interesting, and who wants to read about the life of an average person?

It is expected that science should give objective and reasonable explanations for any phenomena. However, every treatise is the result of thorough work of a scholar and obviously contains someone’s personal opinion, in other words, bias. Bias in general is described as the influence of one’s beliefs and attitudes on his actions and decisions (Greenwald & Krieger, 2006; Staats, 2016). The question is for what purpose is it done and how does it influence people’s perceptions?

In an explanatory research design, the most likely kind of bias is the citation type. In citation bias, researchers may be reluctant to publish some discouraging findings, especially if they believe that they may tarnish their reputations or personal abilities and affect the effectiveness of their products. For that reason, citation bias makes researchers submit positive results only for publication, while suppressing negative findings. In most cases, the motive of citation bias is to gain popularity or self-appraisal (Riegelman, 2005). Positive results, also known as statistically significant findings, may include results that show that a certain intervention is functioning well.

The world is biased whether some want to believe it or not. My own essay is biased.Whenever someone is one sided we automatically accuse him or her of being quite prejudice. Humans are always inclined to interpret situations in an individual way. People perceive each other in society fairly critically and diminish traits by looking at someone’s flaws. Although bias can be detectable,some types of bias are hard to point out. We consistently categorize the world attempting to lose threats. There is a variety of bias that is used in print media and also in person but why is that?How would we be able to conquer this biases we have in society as it is?

The pharmaceutical industry includes companies that research, develop, market or distribute generic and branded drugs. The industry expanded during the 1980’s and drugs to treat heart disease and AIDS were prominent. Consumer demand for nutritional supplements and alternative medicine increased during the 1990’s with the Internet facilitating direct purchases of drugs. Advertising for direct consumption of pharmaceutical drugs became more prominent; pharmaceutical companies were criticized for over medicating personality or social problems.

Drug companies spend enormous amounts of money on advertising their products. From TV commercials to print ads to bulk mail advertisements, they cover the entire spectrum of marketing techniques. However, change is afoot and most drug companies are reevaluating their advertising strategies and how they spend their money.
