the medication under both the physician and pharmacist oversight.
The PPSI online network provides better marketing and clinical integration
information than traditional systems, and enables pharmaceutical companies to
maintain market share when competing with generic drugs. The PPSI information
system includes detailed information such as the individual sales
representative, zip codes, DEA number, pharmacy and prescribing physician. The
PPSI system provides pharmaceutical companies with an easy, safe way to offer
free samples through physicians and increase their value to patients who benefit

incentives for chain drug stores to stock the pharmaceutical products and for
pharmaceutical companies to keep their products on managed care formularies.

products. PPSI's strategy is to provide flexible sample programs supported by
