Thank you @senatordurbin and @rogermarshallmd for speaking up for patient safety. Disclosure is the least we can do to protect patients.
I sent a letter w/ @RogerMarshallMD to @US_FDA about the misleading drug ad to run during the Super Bowl that omits safety, risk, & side effect info. FDA is supposed to enforce against Rx ads that aren't truthful. We will soon introduce legislation to close loopholes in the law for deceptive pharma drug ads.

It is astounding that almost 25% of U.S. citizens who shopped at online pharmacies had experiences with fake medicines. You take your life in your hands when you buy from a fake online pharmacy #NotoriousMarkets
