Drug Ads May Reach Courts Nationwide
Americans could soon compare prescription drug prices like other bargains as bans on drug advertising face challenges. State laws and professional ethics codes have long barred pharmacists and other professionals from advertising drugs and services across many states.

FTC and DOJ push ahead with advertising rules and antitrust actions against major pharmacy groups. Analysts note mixed evidence on price savings and some retailers may run limited time specials rather than broad cuts.
