December 5, 2007 Health care professionals who need up-to-date information about medical products and the food supply have a new resource. The federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today announced it’s inaugurating an e-mail service that will alert subscribers whenever information is updated on certain FDA web pages, with subscribers able to specify the kinds of information they want to receive. The new service “strengthens FDA’s ability to keep its audiences informed quickly and effectively,” said Commissioner of Food and Drugs Andrew von Eschenbach. To receive e-mail alerts, subscribers need only click on a red envelope icon on an FDA web page; each e-mail update will include a link to the web page that has been updated. A list of currently available topics can be found at www.fda.gov/emaillist.html. |
