Executive Summary
Rx DIRECT-TO-CONSUMER ADS ATTRACTING FTC NOTICE, Federal Trade Commission Attorney Susan Cohn advised a Drug Information Association meeting on pharmaceutical marketing and promotion March 2 in New York City. "Now that we're seeing an increase in direct-to-consumer advertising, the FTC is watching the direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription drugs," Cohn said. "That's not to say that we've taken any action in the area, or that we're finding a lot to be concerned about, but it is an area that we're watching."
