摘要：

There is little rationale for direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription drugs. Most new drugs offer little if any therapeutic advantage over existing products. Direct-to-consumer advertisements frequently downplay safety information. Physicians are highly ambivalent about prescribing advertised drugs requested by patients. There is no evidence that direct-to-consumer advertising results in any improvement in health outcomes.
