It is written here that when a drug is mentioned that the complete prescribing info has to be included and that would make posts here 5000 pages long.
There is merit to that suggestion for this site and others to incorporate what the FDA requires, if anything, when a drug is promoted on these sites. But is not the administration of the sites those that could have the duty to do so?
You see, when mothers read here, and it could be your mother, what are they led to believe about these drugs as to what they could do to their child? If the post promotes efficacy claims while failing to post any risks or leave out material facts, then mothers could be deceived into thinking that the drug is safer than it really is and result in the deaths of readers here thinking that because a psychiatrist allows the promotion of the drug without warning of the dangers, that the drug is safe to take.
My idea to be in compliance with warning readers would be for Mr. Hsiung to be the one here to not allow readers to be misled about the safety of these drugs. I would like for him to intercede with warnings, not other posters.
