Reply To: Is every other Woman on Zoloft?

I think there is misunderstanding between the pharmaceutical companies pushing their product and offering incentives for prescribing their drugs “over” other choices and over prescribing drugs. There is a difference. The point being if a patient needs a prescription they try to sell the doctor on using their brand of medication as opposed to their competition and that is why they leave samples for both doctor and patient to try. They don’t make money off of samples, and doctors are not supposed to give out bunches of samples, only one sample to get started or to try before writing the script. However, we all know doctors who try to help patients who can’t afford the script and hand out samples as much as they can.
