ABSTRACTDuring the course of the Kefauver hearings, some testimony was given that presaged some important changes in the relationships between the pharmaceutical industry and organized pharmacy and individual pharmacists. The special nature of the drug marketplace–with the pharmacist as retailer i the channel of distribution–is discussed, along with the American Pharmaceutical Association's part in the Congressional hearings. Again, significant portions of the testimony in the various hearings are reproduced, along discussion and analysis.

ABSTRACTA growing number of consumers are seeking information about medication therapies from drug-specific Web sites. Evidence suggests that visual cues on such sites may influence behavior; thus, it is important to identify the manner in which such cues are framed. The objectives of this study were to: (1) assess the use of models (persons) as visual cues in drug-specific Web sites, categorize them demographically, and determine any identity or relational reward they connote, (2) identify the frequency and types of inducements offered to consumers visiting the sites, (3) describe the framing of messages within tag lines comprising the Web sites' home pages, (4) determine the readability of “safety information” components of the drug Web sites' home pages. A total of 113 Web sites from among the top 200 drugs of 2004 were randomly assigned to 3 of 15 trained judges working independently in a content analysis procedure. Descriptive statistics were tabulated. Results showed that most Web sites make use of ...

ABSTRACTThis case study of the proton pump inhibitor market examines prescription volume, promotional spending, and their interrelatedness between the years 2000 and 2004. Our results show that share of voice and share of market are strongly correlated (r2 values from 0.79 to 0.91) and that the temporal relationship is clear: share of market follows share of voice. Exogenous market factors such as generic entry and over-the-counter entry disrupt the relationship between share of market and share of voice and influence the decision to advertise. For example, generic entry increased pantoprazole (Protonix®) advertising (p < 0.05) while over-the-counter availability decreased rabeprazole (Aciphex®) and pantoprazole advertising (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively). In comparing the different promotional media, direct-to-consumer advertising did not statistically significantly increase prescription volume, but physician-directed advertising was related to an additional 43,662 prescriptions for every 1% increa...

ABSTRACTWe examined the success of product line extensions (PLEs) in Canada by studying five selected drugs, three with generic competitors (ciprofloxacin, fenofibrate, paroxetine) and two without (clarithromycin, tolterodine). Third-party prescription claims from Canada were used to examine market behavior, which was analyzed using multiple regression and ARIMA. Consistent negative associations indicated high substitutability for all products and their generics. However, this was found only for PLEs with distinct advantages (e.g., increased bioavailability, fewer side effects). PLEs may recapture some market share lost to generics, but success is product-specific and likely depends on the extent of the PLE's therapeutic advantage over the originator.

ABSTRACTThis paper describes an empirical study of market segmentation practice in the pharmaceutical industry. It finds that, by comparison with best practice observed both in other sectors and within the industry, most firms have been slow to adopt approaches that are known to be effective. Although practical explanations for this are cited, this research indicates that the real reasons that pharmaceutical firms are slow to develop such strategically important competencies lie in the industry mind-set and culture.

ABSTRACTBiologic and injectable specialty pharmaceuticals have long been used to treat diseases such as hemophilia and Gaucher's. Although expensive, managed care costs were offset by low incidence rates. As technology progressed, such products became more widely used. Today, controversies have emerged regarding creation, distribution, administration, and payment. These challenges illustrate Ogburn's cultural lag theory that technology advances more rapidly than application guidelines. This paper reviews the current issues regarding specialty pharmaceutical products and applies cultural lag theory to develop recommendations regarding management and marketing challenges associated with specialty pharmaceuticals and future pharmaceutical advances.

ABSTRACTRestrictions on the release of physician prescribing information from pharmacy records in the Canadian Province of Saskatchewan were relaxed in 2000. Estimates of aggregated physician prescribing profiles in Saskatchewan have subsequently been available since January 2001. There is some concern that the use of these data to direct drug detailing and promotion efforts may increase prescription drug costs. The evidence on this is sparse, however. I therefore assessed whether the policy change increased overall and therapeutic category specific drug costs in Saskatchewan by comparing trends in drug costs in Saskatchewan with trends in other provinces. There was no evidence that the policy change increased drug costs. To the extent that the policy change increased the effectiveness and/or amount of physician detailing or other promotional activities in Saskatchewan, sales increases likely came at the expense of competitors' sales. The total size of the market appeared to be unaffected by the policy ch...
