| Abstract: | Abstract: Background: Drug Promotional Literature (DPL) is the most common source of information used by physicians to update their knowledge on existing and new drugs. These promotional materials can be highly informative if they are critically appraised, but when they are accepted without question, they may lead to irrational prescribing. Aims & Objectives: So, the aim of this cross-sectional, observational questionnaire-based study was to sensitize the Phase II MBBS students regarding WHO & OPPI criteria for medicinal drug promotion. It was conducted on 112 Phase II MBBS students to evaluate their existing knowledge about DPL, based on WHO and OPPI criteria. Results: In this study, 92% of the students were correct about the drug name, 99% regarding brand name and 96% about generic name of the drug. 91% of them were right about the presence of active ingredients, 93% about indications, 80% about the dose and 82% about the contraindications of the drug. But only 46% evaluated correctly about the method of use of the drug. While 81% estimated correctly about the side effects, only 64% were correct about the precautions and 67% about the mention of API. Only 31% students mentioned correctly regarding the date of production, 39% about the name & address of the pharmaceutical company and 35% regarding references. Conclusion: Though the knowledge of the students regarding most of the points of DPL are considered good, but the significance of important information like the method of concerned drug use, name and address of the manufacturing company, date of production and the details of references, should also be stressed upon by the future medical practitioners. |
