FDA wouldn’t categorically prohibit social media at pharmas

That could all change, however, after a Food and Drug Administration official told a blogger (and executive at PR firm Fleishman Hillard) that the agency would not categorically prohibit social media. “It’s not the medium, it’s the message,” the official said.
