Abstract
The pharmaceutical products market in Mexico involves four main actors: health providers, health payers, patients and pharmaceutical companies. The relationship between health providers and the pharmaceutical companies that supply the products required to prevent and treat illnesses is of particular interest. This relationship can be described within the frame of the treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM), a major health issue in most countries, and an urgent one in Mexico. The financial impact of the treatment of diabetes could be optimized through the use of the tools provided by market intelligence systems and best clinical practices. These results would also have an impact on major health metrics for the relevant population.
