The Food and Drug Administration has joined forces with the print media in its bid to give consumers better protection. Thai FDA secretary-general Siriwat Tiptaradol yesterday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with representatives of the Thai Journalists Association (TJA) and the Economic Reporters Association, whose members are mostly from the print media.

The joint cooperation is aimed at managing exaggerated messages in advertisements dealing with medicines, supplementary food and medical equipment.

Adverts, both direct and indirect, of these products are frequently exaggerated. It is therefore the responsibility of the FDA and the press to help screen messages which could mislead consumers, said Dr Siriwat.
