I also know one more reason why some doctors only prescribe Proprietary Drugs and not generic ones...
out here some Proprietary Drug companies sponsor overseas holidays for doctors who purchase lots of this drugs.

So doctor gets a free trip overseas.
I heard once a company even sponsored a trip to Thailand and paid for all Vice activities of the doctors too.

Can you imagine?

It happens a lot here. When I was working in the Aged Care facility, suddenly I found everyone "D Vitamin" tablets. Then I learned the drug companies are 'looking after' the doctor's interests. Lot of Aussies used to go to 'Bangkok' for holidays just for one purpose only in 80s and 90s. Now it is reduced a bit. I heard Bangkok was like 'Sonagachi-calcutta' at one time.

Cheers!
