I agree withh all of your opinion which below mentioned but i would like to more thing that ultimately acceptance is shown by DRs. DRs are ready to take all these thing, they are accept,they are demand from MR/ company's and company's are give support to those doctors. Untill doctors are not realized themselves, there will no make any change...

I agree with Indu's views. Providing various types of gifts/facilities(like foreign trips etc) is not at all fair.Firstly it is a question of ethics and then B A D trade practice.

The costly gifts are given generally to the private medical practitioners, as in public sectors, it is restricted above some limit.Obviously all the pharmaceutical companies making lots of CORRUPT DOCTORS.

Yes, gifts definitely influence prescription to a greater extent. Instead of prescribing an economical brand, doctor prescribes a costly brand and patients are taxed which otherwise can easily be avoided. Therefore these gifts should be stopped.

Right from pen to laptop, towel to bed sheet, spoon set to dinner set you name the things and you will find all these things are provided by pharmaceutical company to doctors.butThere is a famous saying :“Doctors make a nice living. Buy your own pens”.

If giving gifts influence the prescription behaviour of dr then its very easy for any pharma company to survive in the market.Prescriptions are always written on the merit of medicines.and if we have question on quality then we are the leading generic pharmaceutical producers with maximum USFDA approved plants after US itself.India provides antibiotics and Anti AIDS medicines to developing countries at very affordable prices.So, i think there are no issues of quality.
