FDA To Survey Medical Professionals About Effects of Pharmaceutical Marketing

Source: http://www.raps.org/focus-online/news/news-article-view/article/3209/fda-gets-go-ahead-for-study-of-dtc-advertising-and-social-media.aspx

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received approval from President Obama to conduct a two-year, $365,000 survey of America’s medical professionals to determine the influence of pharmaceutical marketing.  Physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants will be surveyed on their opinions about how drugs are marketed to consumers and healthcare providers.  The survey appears to be especially focused on direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising and potentially social media.

Three Thoughts on the FDA Survey:

1.      If the FDA wants to understand the positive/negative influence of direct-to-consumer ads shouldn’t they also survey some consumers?  A patient who was motivated to visit their doctor about a previously untreated and potentially dangerous disease might offer a different perspective than his physician, who may have been annoyed that the patient requested or asked about a specific drug for his untreated disease.  In other words, will the doctor necessarily answer the survey in a way that sheds light on the real value of a DTC ad?

2.      Billions are spent each year in the U.S. on pharmaceutical marketing initiatives and the FDA is likely seeking to determine if these marketing programs are a negative influence on prescribing habits.  With voluntary PhRMA codes, the Sunshine Act, and other state and federal legislation, it has become much more challenging and expensive in recent years for pharmaceutical companies to market their products.  Will the FDA’s new survey lead to more regulations for pharmaceutical marketers?

3.      As government agencies seek to regulate pharmaceutical marketers it is important that they not blindly discount the value that pharmaceutical marketing brings in terms of disease awareness to physicians and patients, and education about medications that are used every day.  Certainly, there have been some abuses by pharmaceutical marketers, but these represent a tiny minority of pharmaceutical sales and marketing initiatives.  However, physicians are very busy and a short visit with a pharmaceutical sales representative or a teledetailing call can provide life-saving reminders about drug side effects and drug-to-drug interactions; And DTC drug ads can help undiagnosed or untreated patients to visit their doctor.  Does anybody believe the FDA survey will capture the benefits of pharmaceutical marketing, especially if healthcare providers are the only subjects interviewed?

Programs That Improve Communication

Pharmaceutical multichannel marketing is mostly used for making sure that the physicians get the message as soon as possible which is the main criteria to build up trust.

Access of pharmaceutical marketing mix is getting more difficult, and relying solely on your sales representatives  and can get negatively impact your pull-through opportunity.
