About the Course

FDA oversight of prescription drug and medical device labeling and advertising continues to shape how manufacturers communicate scientific and medical information to healthcare professionals. Distributing publications that reference unapproved uses of approved or cleared products can create regulatory exposure when communication practices fall outside current FDA expectations. Organizations involved in promotional review, medical affairs, and scientific dissemination must distinguish between permissible scientific exchange and promotional activity that may trigger agency scrutiny.


The course addresses the FDA’s current policy on distributing scientific and medical references containing off-label information, along with applicable statutes, regulatory requirements, monitoring activities, and untitled letter analysis. Attention is also given to publication practices, avoidable compliance mistakes, and internal measures that support consistent communication standards. The material is structured for organizations seeking practical direction on reducing enforcement risk while maintaining appropriate scientific and medical communications involving approved drugs and cleared medical devices.

  • Interpreting FDA Expectations for Off-Label Communications:

    Participants gain a clearer framework for evaluating scientific and medical publications that reference unapproved uses of approved or cleared products. The course connects FDA policy, regulatory requirements, and surveillance activity to day-to-day communication decisions, helping organizations reduce inconsistent review practices that can contribute to untitled letters or additional regulatory attention.

  • Strengthening Publication and Promotional Review Practices:

    The material provides practical direction for identifying avoidable compliance mistakes associated with off-label promotion and scientific dissemination. Coverage of publication practices, monitoring activities, and enforcement considerations supports more consistent internal review processes during promotional planning, medical communication review, and interactions involving healthcare professionals using FDA approved or cleared products.
