Healthcare moves online

Article Abstract:

Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly moving to provide Web sites as a means of exposing their products to consumers. The move is based on drug firms' recognition of consumers' intent of gaining health information through the Internet and also due to the Web's cost-effectiveness in reaching people without breaking regulations on direct-advertisement to consumers. However, the increase of information divulged by drug companies also raises concerns from physicians regarding the quality of the information being delivered.
