When it comes to direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising, physicians and healthcare professionals are wedged in the middle - the increased pressures of clinical practice on one hand, and the "newly-armed-with-knowledge" patient on the other.

EthicAd can Help

At EthicAd, our goal is to maximize the public health benefits of DTC information by promoting the development of DTC advertisements that provide substantive, understandable, and reliable information about pharmaceutical products.

We will achieve this goal through the development and continuous improvement of quality standards for the development of DTC advertising. For healthcare professionals, this means a better understanding by your patients of the prescription medications on the market.
