Evidence belongs to a specific product.
The federal drug agency, known as FDA, is the Food and Drug Administration. A compounded medicine is prepared to order.
Ask to see the official information for the named drug. Use it to discuss the purpose of treatment, what is known and what remains unclear.
A drug-list number does not mean approval.
A place on a drug list and FDA approval are different checks. Ask which one supports the claim.
Ask what is unknown about a new treatment.
An advisory meeting is not a rule change.
An advisory committee is a group of people who advise FDA. A vote at its meeting is advice, rather than permission to make a medicine.
- What source supports the claim?
- Does it match the exact product and use?
- Is this a final decision, a proposal or advice?
An advisory committee gives advice to the agency. The agency still has to make its own decision.
