"Issues" is such a broad topic as to be virtually meaningless. Are you
interested in learning about economic issues, ethical issues,
biomedical issues? If you can narrow this down, you'll be more likely
to get an answer.

I'm talking about the economic impact that comes from government
regulation of the pharmaceutical industry i.e. 21 CFT part 11,
Counterfeit drugs, the length of time it takes to get products to
market and Direct-to-Customer (DTC) advertising as well as similiar
issues.
I am mainly interested in what kind of technological solutions, such
as Internet technologies, are pharmaceutical companies using to find
solutions to these issues.

Correction: In previous clarification, I said 21 CFT part 11.
I meant to write 21 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) part 11.

Thank you.
