Overview of the Revised International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations (IFPMA) Code of Practice

The latest revision of the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations (IFPMA) Code of Practice was launched on March 1, 2012, and goes into effect on September 1, 2012. For the first time, the IFPMA Code goes beyond addressing pharmaceutical marketing practices to address interactions between pharmaceutical companies and healthcare professionals, medical institutions, and patient organisations. To assist in your review, we have developed an Advisory and comparative chart highlighting the new aspects of the Code.
