Marketing includes discount/free drugs for low-income folk, samples (which many doctors use the same way), and telling doctors what the drug does.
Which of those do you want to reduce?

I'll assume that you're referring to ads. > It's easy to tell the drug companies are awash in money dealing with them. Oh really? I see significant ad campaigns for 4-8 drugs. Even 20 would be a small fraction of the total drug portfolio of a single company, and there are multiple companies.
