Products or services eligible for advertising shall be germane to, effective in, and useful in a) the practice of medicine, b) medical education, and/or c) health care delivery, and shall be commercially available. In addition, products and services that are offered by responsible advertisers that are of interest to physicians, nurses, other health care professionals, and consumers are also eligible for advertising. Pharmaceutical products must comply with FDA regulations regarding advertising and promotion. Alcoholic beverages and tobacco products may not be advertised.
