Sally Field is all over the TV these days hawking Boniva. One night she's talking about her own experience with osteoporosis and the next she's talking about "her friend."
The FTC soon may have a thing or two to say about celebrity spokespersons, especially those who do not reveal that they are being paid to mention drug names on talk shows. Yet, the FTC has traditionally ceded oversight of drug ads and promotions to the FDA and that may give the drug industry a free pass.
Web 2.0 (aka, social networking) is not as forgiving as the FDA or maybe even the FTC regarding the antics of Rx brand celebrity spokespeople like Sally Field.
To see what I mean and find out the two questions I would ask a branded Rx spokesperson, see today's post to Pharma Marketing Blog.
