Brief with projected outcomes:
Advertising of ethical drugs is banned in Japan under the regulations of the Pharmaceutical Law. It’s not allowed to show drug names or provide information leading consumers towards certain pharmaceuticals. It’s also banned to communicate the efficacy of drugs or doctor’s recommendation. Patients cannot choose ethical drugs at their discretion.
