Cairo Pharmacists’ Syndicate Warns Against Drug Promotion on Social Media

The Cairo Pharmacists’ Syndicate has warned against the promotion of medicines on social media, voicing full support for efforts to tighten oversight of Egypt’s pharmaceutical market.

The syndicate backed the Egyptian Drug Authority’s work to strengthen monitoring of the sector and combat unlicensed and misleading advertisements.

Its warning places online drug promotion at the centre of concerns over pharmaceutical advertising, with social media singled out as a channel requiring scrutiny.

The statement aligns the syndicate with the authority’s push for closer control of medicine marketing, particularly advertisements that lack licensing or mislead consumers.
