    New Zealand also lets the team down by allowing medical advertising. IRC it’s the only country other than the US with prescription medical advertising.

      It’s creeping into parts of the EU. I can’t remember exactly what the loophole is, something to do with not explicitly advertising the product but rather having like a sponsored message from the makers of WonderDrug™ to ask your doctor about treatment for X condition, but I’ve seen them pop up here and there. I have my doubts the EU is going to stamp it out, but I hope I’m wrong.
