Forum Update: Supporting Community-Led Discussion
The forum was created as a space for shared learning and peer support, and as the community grows, we want to lean more fully into that purpose.
Going forward, PAAB will be taking a more listening-first role in forum discussions. Rather than responding immediately to every question, we’ll be encouraging members to engage with one another, share experiences, and help build collective understanding. PAAB will continue to monitor conversations and will step in to:
- Correct any misunderstandings
- Provide guidance when questions remain unanswered after a few days
- Support discussions where official clarification is needed
Our goal is to foster a collaborative, trusted community where knowledge is shared and strengthened by everyone’s contributions.
Thank you for being part of the conversation.
554 - On an HCP gated website that provides branded drug information, is it mandatory that the very first page after the gate is cleared be the "safety information" for that drug? Assuming the "safety information" link is accessible from the main navigation menu, can the landing page after the gate be some other content? Thanks.

When assessing safety information or fair balance requirements, particular care is required for tools like websites as it is difficult to predict the path in which the information will be consumed. Additionally, the entire content is not typically consumed in one sitting. The simplest way to ensure physicians are exposed to the required fair balance copy is to include it on the brand product homepage. Linking middle level to highest level of fair balance on the homepage is an option which may help address space issues. Inclusion of a “Safety Information” menu item on every screen cannot replace the fair balance requirements described above. Please refer to the guidance document “Guidance on Base Fair Balance Level Selection and Placement” for more information.
