[Pharm-policy] PhRMA says Mexico generic persscribing law has been "rectified"

A new law approved in July 1997 required doctors to write all
pharmaceutical prescriptions using the generic name only, forbidding the
use of the trademark, in potential violation of TRIPS Article 20. While
this initiative has apparently been rectified, and substitution at point
of sale is not permitted, this area will require close scrutiny in 1999.
