The prescription of a specific drug to treat a patient is influenced by the patient’s medical condition, the prescriber’s medical knowledge, and the pharmaceutical industry’s influence on the prescriber. This paper describes the different areas of interaction and cooperation between the prescriber and the pharmaceutical industry. This relationship is discussed in light of the requirements of the Federal law of the Russian Federation regarding the restrictions imposed on the prescribers. Problems of application of the standards of the law are discussed and ways of elimination of gaps of the legislation are offered.
