title: [The physician and the pharmaceutical industry].
abstract: In recent times, a new relationship has been developed between the medical community and the pharmaceutical industry. Owing to the large economical potential of the latter, a growing pressure has been felt on the medical group, in order to follow the interest of the industrial complex. This pressure is not always located within a ethical niche. Actions of the pharmaceutical companies in this respect are described, and a claim is made to establish regulations for a better relationship between the two entities.
