    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Medical Education

    Background:

    • Practicing doctors require up-to-date clinical pharmacology knowledge.
    • Drug advertisements are a source of prescribing information.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the quality of information in New Zealand drug advertisements.
    • To highlight the need for continuing education in clinical pharmacology.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of prescribing information in recent New Zealand drug advertisements.

    Main Results:

    • Less than 50% of advertisements included dosage details.
    • Only 25% of advertisements mentioned toxic effects.

    Conclusions:

    • Drug advertisements in New Zealand frequently lack essential prescribing information.
    • There is a clear need for enhanced continuing education in clinical pharmacology for doctors.
