Briefly
In the last month, the Hungarian National Institute of Drug Store and also Nourishment (NIPN) released 5 brand-new choices on its web site about the advertising methods of business under examination. The NIPN enforced penalties for violations within the variety of HUF 3 million (approx. EUR 7,700) to HUF 31 million (approx. EUR 79,500).

Threat of utilizing an MSL
About the advertising tasks of among the business, the NIPN examined the standing of the Medical Scientific Research Intermediary (MSL) used by the firm. From a business point of view, the MSL belonged to the clinical division, participated in responsive interaction, which suggests that the MSL largely interacted with doctors if they had inquiries, commonly in connection with a specific item. Even more, the MSL gave response to health care experts (HCPs) in the context of item usage, and also maintained call with them about scientific tests. The NIPN discovered that although the MSL has a high degree of clinical understanding contrasted to the “ordinary” clinical sales rep and also their main job was not to offer the firm’s item profile or to incentivize sales, the NIPN does not sustain a sharp difference in between business and also expert elements of medical item promo. Expertise is a just as important part of medical item promo given that the HCPs might just select client medicine on the basis of ample and also clinically corroborated expert understanding.
As a result, the NIPN is of the sight that the tasks of MSLs do not make up medical item promo just in case the expert understanding they want to communicate and also the fashion in which they are distributed can be entirely identified from the purpose to advertise the sale of a particular item. Where the task of the MSL towards HCPs connects to a particular item, that task certifies — at the very least partly or indirectly — as business technique, hence, the promo of medical items.
When it come to the useful problems in dividing the above tasks, the NIPN considers it authorized, proper and also controlled if pharmaceutical business connect with HCPs via medical sales agents in connection with both advertising and also expert issues, and also not via various other features.
Requirements for certified audio speaker discussions by HCPs
In a number of choices, the NIPN wrapped up that the audio speaker discussions held by HCPs involved by pharmaceutical business satisfied the requirements of medical item promo; for that reason, the HCP interactions were taken into consideration as illegal. According to the Medicines Economic Climate Act, there is a problem of passion if an HCP that is participated in health care tasks at a medical care provider takes part in or sustains the business technique (medical item promo) of a pharmaceutical firm, hence, HCPs might not be involved to accomplish such a task. Medical item promo might just be carried out by clinical sales agents signed up with the NIPN.
In these current choices, the NIPN developed that the audio speaker discussions held by the involved HCPs had info especially and also specifically regarding the usage, application, healing experience and also difficulties associated with a specific item of the firm. Contending items and/or treatments were not consisted of in the audio speaker discussions, not also as a reference. In one more choice, the NIPN goes also additional and also mentions that an audio speaker discussion can be taken into consideration advertising past practical question if the name, logo design and also product packaging of a specific item are not simply partially stated within such discussion, however bulk of it goes over specifically using this item or brand name and also its benefits over the rival item; motivates using the offered item; and also advises it. Furthermore, a discussion can be taken into consideration advertising if the slides birth the outside look of the offered item and also the item’s name/appearance is suggested on each slide.
