They are. I went through pre-med for my postmortem science degree and am still close with my doctor/dentist friends from the program. They get kickbacks from companies if they successfully sell a brand. Sometimes the results are great, like Wakix (my Narcolepsy medication that actually helped), but other times, it’s a garbage product. If the medical professional has a fancy pamphlet or offers you coupons for the product, that means the company is paying them.
I’m in the USA, where you do pay, but the companies hawk drugs and other products anywhere that they can get approved by the government drug administration

Yesn’t.
In short: It depends on what meds and your current situation.
