Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $4,615 of the $5,915 with a category attached, or 78.0%. 24 manufacturers reported payments, led by Tarsus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 26.3% of the total. Among optometrist clinicians in SD with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
