These questions include the formation of fair marketing policies of pharmacies  in relation to the circulation of prescription drugs; limitations  that may be applicable to scientific and practical  articles  reporting  information  about diseases and existing  drug options; creation  and content  of websites that may contain  information  related to the description of prescription drug properties;  procedure  for comparing  prescription drugs with each other according to the mechanism  of action and other criteria;  use of certain words and expressions in advertising  materials that are distributed  at professional  medical  events and published  in specialized  printed  publications.  In addition,  the analysis  of solutions from law enforcement practice reveals approaches to assessing the reliability of information contained in advertisements, as well as methods to identify relevant violations of the law and the procedure  for assessing  evidence by the enforcer.All these issues  are covered  in detail  in this  article  based on an analysis  of case  proceedings regarding  the unfair  advertising of prescription drugs.  The  article  provides  the  most  complete  set  of solutions  that  are  important  from  the  point  of view  of practitioners.</abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>prescription drugs</kwd><kwd>advertising</kwd><kwd>practice of FAS of Russia</kwd><kwd>court  practice</kwd><kwd>surrogate advertising</kwd><kwd>precedent interpretation</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>рецептурные лекарственные препараты</kwd><kwd>реклама</kwd><kwd>практика ФАС  России</kwd><kwd>судебная  практика</kwd><kwd>суррогатная реклама</kwd><kwd>прецедентные толкования</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Борзова М.
