What is the chance my doctor will order a prescription drug because the rep stopped by?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ethical concern: One would hope that your doctor prescribes drugs based entirely on what is best for you. Drug reps provide a useful educational service and their messages are strictly regulated by the fda. However, they are in the sales business. You should also know that it has been illegal for some time for your doctor to receive any personal benefit from prescribing certain products.
