It is for the Sponsor company to comply with 21 CFR regulations. FDA is screening and combing the world wide web for any breach of 21 CFR ads. FDA has taken a real proactive approach to internet regulated product ads (foods, drugs, devices). FDA can request that Google hire staff knowledgeable with 21 CFR regulations but then every other agency EPA, DOJ ect.. would want in & where does the private business burden stop? There is not enough money to keep up the Nanny state over-watch. FDA is searching more for unapproved health care product ads for easy shut down response. Send an FDA Investigator out to write them up with warning letter follow-up and other regulatory action.Patrick Stonenoreply@blogger.com
