The FDA problems with the ad is not surprising to me. In marketing my own practice, i personally spoke to the State Board to discuss compliance with new advertising regulations on numerous occasions, and finally went to print. Several weeks later, got a small fine for the print ads. State Board's position was that I should have gotten approvals in writing. Live and learn, My point here is that i'm one person dealing with a relatively small agency on a direct one-to-one basis. I can only imagine the red tape involved with a company dealing with a large federal agency with new advertising regulations. Mike
