An anonymous physician complaint prompted the UK Prescription Medicines Code of Practice Authority to come down on German drug maker Boehringer Ingelheim, InPharm reported Thursday. The government agency found that BI’s professional website for the blood thinner Pradaxa did not clearly indicate where users could find prescribing information. Instead, the site requires users to click the clinical indication, a location the doctor said was buried in promotional information. PMPCA agreed.
