Be wary of what drug companies promise

January 3, 2001, ABC News
The FDA sends out roughly 100 letters to drug companies to demand changes be made in their advertising and promotional materials. These demands are based on the premise that the FDA feels the drug companies make promises suggesting their product can be more effective than evidence suggests. One of the FDA’s targets was Abbott Laboratories, the makers of Meridia (sibutramine), but the drug company refused requests for interviews by ABC News. Dr. Sharon Levine, of RX Alliance, thinks that the companies are “leaving an impression on people’s minds- and this is intentional- that the drugs can deliver more than they actually do.” Dr. Bradford Pontz advises patients to be wary of advertisements and what a drug can really provide a person.
