Over the years, DTB has initiated successful campaigns for the removal or restriction of medicines that it could not recommend, prompted withdrawal of excessive promotional claims and exposed fundamental weaknesses in certain prescribing practice.Surveys of our readership have consistently shown that readers find DTB authoritative and influential in relation to their decisions, recommendations or advice on treatments. These are just a few of the examples of why DTB is regarded as an indispensable part of evidence-based clinical practice and has been described as both essential reading for practising doctors and as a key information source by the House of Commons Health Select Committee in the UK.
