E-drug: Drug promotion booklets
-------------------------------
Dear e-druggers,
Pharmaceutical companies in developing countries disseminate
information about drugs (their effects, side-effects and
contra-indications) through special booklets, called PIMs and
MIMs (if I can recall thye exact spelling). These booklets are
nationally produced and contain, next to this info,
advertisements of pharma companies. The information per drug
varies per company and per country in these booklets. To our
colleagues working in developing countries I have a special
request to send Wemos a copy of this booklet. The booklets will
be used here in courses for medical students to give them an
impression about how drug information is disseminated in the
developing world. If you can miss a copy, preferrably in English
language, please send it to the Wemos foundation.
You can find the address below.
Best regards,
