We are going to initiate a public process for trying to gather information for what additional guidelines we could issue to make sure that these ads are providing truthful and non-misleading information.

This approval is another example of our agency's endeavor to counter rising health care costs by approving safe and effective generic alternatives as soon as the law permits.

We must do more than ever to monitor the performance of (device) products after they are approved, and make sure that we are quickly discovering and sharing information about problems that do arise.

Our new drugs program has benefited from funding tools that are not available to us when it comes to generic drugs.

When you are speaking to consumers, [15-second spots] don't provide any opportunity to give information on disease awareness.
