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.
569 - Can you use before and after photos that show a drug's efficacy in a patient brochure?
-
Patient brochures should be non-promotional. The information should focus on educating patients about particular diseases/conditions and optimal use of the product by the patient for whom it has been prescribed. (PAAB code s.6) Before and after photos depict a magnitude of improvement. This is promotional in nature. It is therefore not generally acceptable to include them in patient brochures.
