Abstract
Direct to Consumer Advertisement (DTCA) is an innovative practice of promoting prescription drugs through popular media, which is currently allowed only in US & New Zealand. In India we are already exposed to television advertisements of many OTC drugs like contraceptive pills, inhalers in bronchial asthma, insulin for diabetes mellitus, etc. Main objective of this study is to explore scope of direct to consumer advertising of prescription drugs in Indian market. Research study is exploratory in nature and helps in tracing knowledge, perceptions, and responsiveness of consumers, doctors & marketers towards direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription medicines. Factorial analysis is used to draw conclusion and to know about factors which drive towards and against DTCA in India.
