Pharmaceutical Group Wants FDA to Adopt Online Safety Symbol

A drug industry group urged the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to adopt a universal safety symbol for Internet content containing FDA-approved information about a medicine or medical device. The proposal from the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, which represents some of the biggest drug makers in the world, came ahead of an FDA public meeting on how FDA-regulated prescription drugs and medical devices are promoted in social media and on the Internet.
