Activity Outline Description: This series of educational webinars is designed to aid physicians, physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, certified public health professionals, other health care professionals, and students, to provide better patient care by knowing how to find relevant FDA regulatory information that will improve drug safety. Products marketed as dietary supplements that contain hidden, harmful ingredients and/or falsely claim to prevent, treat, mitigate, diagnose or cure disease continue to be a public health concern. As the marketplace for dietary supplements has evolved, so has the marketplace for the illegal sale of these adulterated products which contain ingredients ranging from prescription drugs to controlled substances. Furthermore, some companies may prey on vulnerable populations or exploit public health emergencies with unproven claims regarding their dietary supplements. The goal of this presentation is to increase awareness of this public health issue, provide an overview of the steps FDA is taking to protect consumers from fraudulent products marketed as supplements, and provide resources and the means which the public can report issues related to these types of products.
