Dear Colleague:
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today launched a program designed to educate health care providers about their role in ensuring that prescription drug advertising and promotion is truthful, and not misleading.
The Bad Ad Program is an FDA-sponsored educational outreach effort administered by the agency’s Division of Drug Marketing, Advertising, and Communications (DDMAC), in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
Attached is a letter from Margaret Hamburg, M.D., Commissioner of Food and Drugs announcing the launch of this new program.
