Hi Dean,

Well, both sentences have a problem. But the second option is better.

Do pharmaceutical control effective in controlling information in pharmaceutical advertisements in medical and pharmacy journals.

You should change 'do' for 'are' and change 'control' to 'controls'.

I hope this helps.

Gloria

If both sentences are intended to be questions do not forget the question mark at the end.
