Proposed Restrictions on Drug Promotions

Responding to criticism by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin of pharmaceutical companies' gifts and payments to doctors who promote their products, Russia's Federal Anti-Monopoly Service has prepared legislative amendments that would prohibit drug manufacturers and their representatives from organizing travel, entertainment, or educational and scientific events for doctors who promote their products, or from giving them cash or other gifts worth more than 3,000 rubles ($100). The amendments are to be reviewed by the Ministry of Health by February 2010.
