You can stop calls from pharmaceutical telemarketers.
Pharmaceutical telemarketers may target you if you've previously purchased drugs from their company or even if you've never done business with them. It's annoying to answer your phone and hear, "Would you like to buy some Viagra?" on the other end, but there are ways to stop it. You can use the federal law that allows you to opt out of telemarketing calls or take other measures if the drug company still persists in calling.
Instructions
1. Sign up for the National Do Not Call Registry. This can be done online or over the telephone through the DoNotCall.gov website. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), this stops telemarketing calls from legitimate pharmaceutical companies because they are forbidden by federal law from calling any numbers on the list unless you have a pre-existing business relationship with them.
2. If any pharmaceutical telemarketers call you, tell them to put you on their do not call list. Questionable firms may call from another country, even though the FTC states they are not exempt from the registry. Some domestic firms simply ignore the national registry. They may still have an internal database of people who do not wish to be called again. Do not simply say "I'm not interested" or "Don't call me again." You must specifically ask to be placed on their do not call list.
3. Instruct your pharmacy not to pass along your telephone number to any third parties and ask it to remove your information from any internal telemarketing databases. Unless you opt out, the pharmacy has the right to call you and provide your number to its affiliates because you have an existing business relationship.
4. Purchase drugs only from reputable businesses. There are many internet pharmacies that engage in questionable practices like selling controlled drugs without a prescription.Their unscrupulous business model often extends to relentless telemarketing of their customers and selling the numbers to other firms. You won't have to deal with these calls if you avoid such companies.
