- If the statements made by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner
- Frank E. Young, M.D., Ph.D. about American consumers are correct, you have
- started to take responsibility for your own health, at last. Judging by the
- new interest in health oriented activities, exercise and diet, many of you
- will be using more medications obtainable without prescription (over the
- counter or OTC medication) to treat various ailments that you have diagnosed
- for yourselves. The trend is upward both in the use of such medication as
- well as home diagnostic kits for many conditions. With this new activism in
- your health care comes an increased need for knowledge. In a brochure
- entitled, "A Doctor's Advice on Self-Care" authored by Dr. Frank Young and
- developed by the Proprietary Association (a 108 year old trade association
- representing nonprescription drug manufacturers) and the FDA, you can learn
- much about the use of OTC medications, and home tests. Using these products
- is a great way of "taking charge" provided, Dr. Young writes, "consumers use
- these tests in conjunction with medical guidance." To order your booklet free
- of charge you must write DIRECTLY to Consumer Information Center, Department
- 588-V, Pueblo, Colorado, 81009 and ask for it by name.
