We may need to remove certain comments posted by our visitors. We may take down comments related to:
- Products. For regulatory reasons, we are not permitted to allow content related to products beyond name, price and quantity. To ensure 'fair balance' and 'accuracy', we will remove content that compares products, makes any claims or defamatory statements, or discusses side effects.
- Medical Advice. Medical advice, while well-intentioned, may have serious consequences when not provided by a medical doctor with knowledge of a patient's medical history.
- Adverse Reactions. Our social media accounts are not monitored by our drug safety team or customer service department. For this reason, if you wish to report an adverse event related to any of our products, please contact our drug safety team at the contact information below.
- Inappropriate Comments. We will remove comments that contain vulgar or foul language, disparage/attack an individual, violate someone's privacy or dignity, or contain offensive statements regarding race, ethnicity, religion, sex, or age, or that target gender identity or sexual orientation.
- Spam. We will remove comments that are unrelated to the original post, are promotional in nature, or are irrelevant.
