N Z Med J 1977 Nov 23; 86:(600):467-9


Abstract:

The need for continuing education in clinical pharmacology for practising doctors is seen in the light of a study of the prescribing information contained in recent New Zealand drug advertisements. Less than half of the advertisements contained details of dosage and only a quarter mentioned toxic effects.
