The significance of information posted on the U.S. food and Drug Administration's website

摘要

We commend Marchand et al. from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on their article entitled "The U.S. Food and Drug Administration: Drug Information Resource for Formulary Recommendations."1 We have found that the article provides a thorough summary of FDA available resources for the managed care pharmacist. We also commend Navarro for his editorial "Rediscovering FDA Websites," since the significance of this information for comparative effectiveness research analysis cannot be more important.2 Given the importance of the article and the subsequent commentary, we would like to further comment on the significance of information within FDA approval packages on Drugs@FDA and FDA briefing documents from FDA advisory committee meetings.
