Anyone tried getting Co-op $$?

[ktaz01]

Does anyone know (pharm_boy (javascript openWin'pop_up_profile.asp?PF=16','profile','toolb ar=0,location=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,re sizable=1,width=590,height=425')or you old timers...) if any of the drug companies would be willing to co-op a print ad? Has anyone tried contacting the drug companies directly or would we need to go thru our suppliers? Pharm boy can you help me with this??

are you talking about pharmaceutical manufacturers like Pfizer or pharma distributors or OPs? I would imagine the only help you would get would be from OPs if they like you. (like you = top producer)

I don't imagine the manufacturers would be too keen on the idea, but I have no experience in that realm, so don't take my word for it. This is just speculation, but they might not look too fondly on the Internet;Internet = Competition.


All the offshore sites, thereimporting of meds exported at lower prices, all the generic meds out of India or wherever competing directly with their money makers - I just can't imagine they'd be all that receptive to a call from a dot com. I also wonder if they worry about potential liability on someone having a bad reaction to their products, even when sold via one of those no script, no problem, offshore OPs.


Add to the mix all the bad press the industry is getting lately, and I'd say it's possible, but it'd be a tough sell...


Sorry to be a downer on the idea, but hey, it's only my $.02 after all.
