A damn good point - no I don't know at all, but in Europe pharma advertising (like in the US) is not allowed. Neither is going to the Doc and saying "I've got this this and this, prescribe me this"
If the Doc prescribes you a generic, you take the generic.
If he'she prescribes you a brand and it goes titsup, the Doc is liable (who no doubt will sue the pharma via his union).
At least, that's how I see it here....
