The media as well as pharmaceutical marketing experts and critics interpreted the petition as a call for the elimination of specific risk information in DTC ads. The CHC disputes that interpretation.  <\/p>\n<p> This article presents a lightly edited transcript of a Pharma Marketing Roundtable discussion that included CHC representatives. Also included are excerpts from news stories about the CHC petition, results of a <i>Pharma Marketing News<\/i> online survey, and a collection of comments from survey respondents and bloggers. <\/p>\n<p> Topics covered include: <\/p>\n<ul type=\"DISC\">\n<li>Excerpts from Pharma Marketing Blog (&#8220;DTC without the Risk&#8221;)  <\/li>\n<li>Pfizer&#8217;s Way of Communicating Risk <\/li>\n<li>Commentary from Pharma Marketing Roundtable Members <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Read this article now.
