E-DRUG: Drug Prices in Pakistan (cont) -------------------------------------- I would add to Foppe van Mil's list of questions some of my own: 1) What percent of the drugs that Lilly sells in Pakistan is on the essential drug list? 2) How do the prices for drugs on the essential drug list compare to those that are not on the list? 3) Does Lilly have its own internal marketing code or does it rely on the ineffective code from the IFPMA? 4) How do the listed indications and safety warnings for the drugs that Lilly markets in Pakistan compare to the indications and safety warnings in countries like the U.S. or Canada?
