The answer

It is permissible for a physician or pharmacist to contract with institutions to promote their medicines for a fee. This falls under the category of permissible brokerage, provided that the promotion does not involve deceiving patients or urging them to purchase what they do not need, or what is more expensive when a better and cheaper alternative is available.
