From the Paper:

"company, he stated that he could now be fired for giving away something as small as a pen with company information or a logo on it to a customer. This type of guideline or regulation has made the marketing of new products difficult. Where representatives used to be able to basically knock doors in order to promote new products, they now have to seek out new methods of communication with their customers. Pharmaceutical representatives also provide physicians and other health care professionals with information about new studies and clinical data, new dosing information, and updates on safety and risk information."
