Responsible for information

Each firm responsible for the marketing of a medicinal product needs the cooperation of a person responsible for pharmaceutical information, who checks, before publication, that all advertising made by the company conforms with the laws and regulations concerning medicinal products advertising.

The person responsible for information is a doctor or a pharmacist approved by the Ministry of Public Health.

To be approved the person must prove experience of at least one year in the field of pharmaceutical information.

For more information see Articles 13-15 of the Royal Decree of 7 April 1995 (French version) about information and advertising concerning medicinal products for human use.
