As a crucial component of the marketing mix, pharmaceutical promotion encompasses a wide range of communication strategies designed to create awareness, influence prescribing behaviour, and support the ethical use of medicines. Promotion in the pharmaceutical industry is unique due to strict regulatory frameworks.
