Have to say that I think its a bad idea - anyone can diagnose them selves with a headache and prescribe a couple of Advil, or diagnose them self with a cold and self prescribe some Sudafed, but realy, can people self diagnose with depression, bipolar, high cholesterol and all the other ills the drug makers peddle?
I would be most reluctant to see DTC advertising introduced into Australia for prescripton drugs - the adverts for OTC drugs annoy me enough!
