some time back the MR of a leading pharma company gave me tea bags. than next quarter he gave me scents and than he gave me a kind of scent which I had to put in my bathing water.

in the early nineties all the MR’s used to give is just jotting pads and pen stands.

when I questioned them as to why they waste money on such useless paraphernalia they had no answer.

Instead I suggested to them to develop clinically relevant educational materials for clinicians or patient education material for the lay population.

The prices of most of the drugs are well known and do not change very often.I would be the last person to get information about a particular drug from a MR. Nobody can speak against his own company.
