Pharmaceutical companies are permitted to reduce drug prices or provide free medicines to pharmacies as an incentive for purchase. This is considered a commendable leniency in selling. Promotional gifts are classified either as pure donations or as part of the sold item. However, a representative is not allowed to dispose of medicines through gifts or discounts without the company's permission, because he is entrusted, and his actions are restricted by authorization.
