Need for the Document

The number of mass media ads for prescription drugs has exploded in recent years. They are quite literally everywhere, but most noticeably on television.

There are currently several types of drug advertisements,According to the Medical Ethics medical practitioners are not allowed to advertise their Drugs or services,with a view in Mind that Direct-to-consumer advertisings are commonly misleading,inaccurate or loaded with unbalanced information which can mislead patients

To control commercial advertisements, the Kenya government introduced a( PPB )which organizes and regulates drug promotion in the country.

The aim is not only to monitor compliance of pharmaceutical industry to the regulation, but also to ensure that consumers get objective and complete information that does not mislead,as well as to promote the safe and effective use of drugs.

There very few countries that allow DTCPA that includes product claims but Most other countries dont allow DTCPA at all;

Therefore, Advertisement of Drugs and Cosmetics Requires Approval from Ministry of Health through the Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB) department in Kenya.

The PPB has the authority to enforce regulations and take action against companies that do not abide by DTCPA rules.

The PPB is responsible for assessment of all Pharmaceutical promotional in mass media adverts for human and animal drugs, use including food supplements, veterinary products ,insecticides, medical devices & cosmetics before giving permission to advertise in the media.

This is done to ensure quality & safety of products with affordable prices by applying a Transparent -Effective -Smooth & Communicable System. The information content of the drugs to be promoted on the mass media shall be strictly evaluated by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board and include the necessary precaution to be taken during application.
