(R-KS) sent a bipartisan letter to the FDA flagging Hims & Hers' ad and accusing the company of misleading patients "by omitting any safety or side effect information when promoting a specific type of weight loss medication." Under federal law and regulations, FDA requires that prescription drug advertisements be truthful, not misleading, and balancedfailure to do so risks FDA enforcement action, including civil monetary penalties, Durbin and Marshall said in the letter
we know that exercise and dietary change are also particularly important in maintaining weight loss. There are also other medications authorised in Australia for weight management, such as Saxenda, which work in similar ways and deliver similar results, and Willett suggested patients ask about those and consider them first
But the available research doesnt back those claims, and neither does the FDA
Thats why, when choosing products to use, I always make sure to be extra careful & check all the ingredients
