Manitoba Pharmacy Jurisprudence Practice Exam

Is it acceptable to use phrases like 'Cheap Drugs' and 'most trusted Pharmacists in Canada' in pharmacy advertisements?

1. Yes

2. No, it violates advertising guidelines

3. Yes, if it's true

4. Only outside of Manitoba

The correct answer is: No, it violates advertising guidelines

Using phrases like 'Cheap Drugs' and 'most trusted Pharmacists in Canada' in pharmacy advertisements can be seen as misleading and deceptive, which is a violation of advertising guidelines. This is because these statements may not always be true and can be used to manipulate potential customers into choosing a certain pharmacy over others. Even if the statement is true, it should not be used in advertisements as it can create a false sense of superiority or credibility. The correct way to advertise a pharmacy is by providing factual information and promoting the services and products offered. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
