  • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said today it is partnering with medication information site Drugs.com to expand access to the FDA’s consumer health information.

    Drugs.com is focused on providing people with information to better manage their own health care and to assist in reducing medical errors. The site attracts more than 12 million unique visitors each month.

    Beth-Martino-FDA "The FDA’s partnership with Drugs.com means that reliable, useful, and timely health information will be available to an even wider audience," said Beth Martino, the FDA’s associate commissioner for external affairs.

    "Partnerships like this are an important part of the FDA’s effort to ensure the public has easy access to reliable, useful information that can help people protect and improve their health."

    The FDA’s partnership with Drugs.com will provide people with a joint resource on the Drugs.com site featuring FDA Consumer Update articles, videos and slideshows. The partnership will also offer access to FDA health information on Drugs.com’s mobile platform.

    "We are very excited about partnering with the FDA to provide consumers with public health and safety information on our site as well as our mobile phone platform," said Philip Thornton, CEO of Drugs.com.
