Article Abstract:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) introduced a newly designed package insert that would provide the most important information about a prescription product in a format that should improve comprehension by physicians. While the American Medical Association praised the revised labeling format, Public Citizen, a health advocacy group stated that while the new inserts would benefit physicians, patients who are filling a prescription would only receive a commercially produced leaflet, the content of which is not scrutinized by the FDA.
