Inside Ciba-Geigy
Penang, Malaysia: International Organization of Consumers Unions 1989
Abstract:
(Limited to the part dealing with promotion.) One of the ways that Ciba-Geigy tried to increase sales of its products was to “reposition†them in the market. For example, Ludiomil (maprotiline) up until that time had been labeled as a preparation for use especially by general practitioners for treating moderate and masked forms of depression. Now the plan was to combine depressive states plus organic diseases and age-linked depression in the range of indications recommended the GPs.
