UK Nexium Ad Rapped For Downplaying Treatment For Persistent Heartburn
Executive Summary
Pfizer’s TV ad for Nexium Control short-term heartburn treatment implied consumers with persistent heartburn need not seek professional medical advice, UK Advertising Standards Authority says. Pfizer argued that information in the ad was in line with MHRA's approval for the drug’s indications and packaging warned consumers not to use more than 14 days.
