In the UK, it is illegal for manufacturers to advertise prescription drugs directly to their consumers, the patients. The information which can be made available on other drugs is also controlled. The contributors to this book represent several British patient groups as well as the legal environment and provide alternatives to what many consider an outdated policy in Britain.
