Pfizer's settlements with federal and state governments over alleged off-label marketing is important, and not just because of its record-setting size. It’s also because the agreement covers nearly every aspect of promotional activity. The behavior mandates are likely to become rules of the road for all medical product companies, including yours. Here’s the best way to find out exactly how you may have to adjust a wide range of policies as a result.

Join Windhover Information for the upcoming webinar, “Pfiguring Out the Pfizer Settlements: How to Keep Your Pharma or Device Company From Becoming the Next Target.” Listen as our panel of experts—a state prosecutor, a former Department of Justice enforcement official, and a former industry counsel—helps you better understand Pfizer’s new corporate integrity agreement with the Department of Justice and what impact it could have on the way you do business.
