The medical consultation and potential conflicts of interest with pharmaceutical marketing
Acto médico y potencial conflicto de intereses con el marketing farmacéutico
Abstract
The primary purpose of medicine is to seek healing, relieve pain and promote patient health. However, sometimes there may be conflicts with secondary motives. This article seeks to define what a conflict of interest is, the ways in which it appears in clinical practice, and how it can be used as a tool to help doctors in their decision-making vis-à-vis the pharmaceutical industry.
