What is one of the conditions under which drug samples can be provided to physicians?

Providing drug samples to physicians is permitted under specific conditions, and one of the key requirements is that these samples must be provided free of charge. This ensures that the distribution of samples is ethical and does not create a financial burden for the receiving physician or influence their prescribing behavior unduly. The intention behind offering samples at no cost is to allow physicians to try medications with their patients without the immediate expense associated with purchasing a full prescription.

The other conditions, while relevant in the context of pharmaceutical regulations, do not pertain to the core requirement of providing samples without charge. Ensuring samples are provided free of charge helps maintain professional integrity and supports patient access to medications in a responsible manner.
