    CURBS ON DRUGS ADVERTISEMENT ENTER INTO FORCE

    YEREVAN, DECEMBER 15, ARMENPRESS: A set of new
    restrictions on advertisement of medicines and medical
    equipment by television stations and newspapers is
    coming into force from December 16.
    Under these restrictions pharmaceutical companies
    or dealers before commissioning advertisement of any
    licensed drug will have to seek a written permission
    of the Armenian healthy ministry. The new procedure
    has banned altogether television and newspaper
    advertisement of unregistered drugs.
    Parunak Zeivelian, chairman of the Armenian Medical
    Association, told a news conference today the new
    restrictions were prompted by serious concerns
    articulated by medical authorities and doctors about
    the growing use of televised advertising of medicines.
    Zeivelian said their Association will conduct close
    monitoring of all ads on Armenian television and
    newspapers to inform the ministry about every breach
    of the law.
