We have an even simpler policy. We never see drug reps. Period. The information they leave is distorted, they encourage the inappropriate use of medication, and they contribute heavily to the cost of medication. I subscribe to The Medical Letter and use UpToDate several times a day. I wish reps were outlawed. Let the comapnies make their case in the scientific literature.
