摘要：
Pharmaceutical companies advertise anti hypertensive agents [AHAs] in medical journals. The objectives were to analyse the information provided on AHAs advertised in selected professional medical journals in English published from India during 2003 and provide suggestions to improve the quality. A total of 230 advertisements were screened for 18 information [shown in table 1] by two participants[PT & AT] independently and reviewed by two others[MPN & MN], and subjected to simple descriptive statistics. Analysis revealed some information on dosage, active ingredient, marketing and indications in 48.7, 70.4, 78.3 and 98.3% respectively. The rest were provided in sub-optimal & incomplete or inadequate form. The suggestions to improve the quality are, strengthening the regulatory system, uniform journal policies and peer review process, and educational aspects on advertisements as well as consumer/reader participation.
