Medtronic and Novartis are actively engaging on the platform through their corporate handles, each with more than 14,000 followers. Then there are companies such as Sanofi that have created a handle, but not yet activated it with posts, says Intouch Solutions EVP Wendy Blackburn. <\/p>\n<p>[Read &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/sco.lt\/8lqefp\">Pharma on Instagram: How Top Drug Companies Use It Today &amp; May Use It Tomorrow<\/a>&#8220;] <\/p>\n<p>UCB global multichannel engagement solutions lead Greg Cohen says &#8220;I&#8217;ve noticed pharma companies have grabbed the Instagram names for their products, but there are no posts yet,&#8221; he continues. &#8220;They&#8217;re probably getting them set up and holding them in case they decide to move into it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Will they?

She thought her diagnosis meant the start of chemotherapy and would leave her with only months left to live. After finding out that her tumors expressed high levels of the PD-L1 protein, which is a biomarker for Keytruda, she learned she now had a new treatment available to her. She said her scans after treatment with Keytruda showed &#8220;good news.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The ninety-second spot, &#8220;Sharon&#8217;s Tru Story,&#8221; likely signals a shift in the drugmaker&#8217;s marketing strategy, which until now focused on targeting doctors through professional journal ads.
