How do pharmaceutical companies sell their products?
They are a lot like bookstores. The publishing companies sell to the bookstores, and the bookstores sell to the consumers. They also sell to the professors of the college courses to use the book. Pharmaceutical companies do the same thing. They sell to pharmacies, and the pharmacies sell to you. They use marketing means to get the name out. They also sell to the doctors that prescribe medication. Sometimes, doctors will make commission on what they sell of certain medications, if they prescribe it enough. They market things that they know you need, and they do it through means of which you, the consumer, have no control.
