Stop taking drug advice from Kim Kardashian on Twitter, sighs watchdog

"can cause drowsiness and should not be taken before any activity requiring mental alertness"

So no side effects that would be detectable in a reality TV star then...

"the drug can cause drowsiness and should not be taken before any activity requiring mental alertness"

Her husbands probably happy then - he doesn't have to listen to her for a while

They shouldn't correct her

She's doing the human race a favour.

If anyone is stupid enough to follow her advice and consequently kills themselves AND their future offspring, then Darwin's principles are operating perfectly in helping to ensure the continuing improvement of the human gene pool.

Fortunately, we don't allow advertising of prescription-only medicine (POM) to general public in UK. But just as in US the marketing authorization holder is responsible for what is said in promotion of any of their medicines. In this case it seems the MAH is a repeat offender. Their regulatory affairs people need a bollocking if they weren't trying to enforce the rules, if the marketing dept was ignoring regulatory affairs then they need a double bollocking, and if senior management is a fault then they need their pension plans and share options redistributed to the poor. To encourage the others....

Seeing as how the last really famous morning sickness pill was Thalidomide, I think I'd definitely want somebody more qualified than a celebrity endorsing it.

And I thought that talking meercats giving financial advice was the daftest marketing technique.

The human race never ceases to amaze.

I realise it makes me an awful person, but I couldn't help thinking that perhaps someone could persuade her to tweet about how cyanide cures morning sickness. (And it's probably cheaper and "more natural" than some naff proprietary drug.)

'Buttocks' Kardashian

Nice one, though it would be ambiguous, as I believe there are several Kardashians (each with several buttocks).

I am simultaneously repulsed and fascinated by the fact that people can be famous just for being famous, and nothing else.

And though it's fun to scorn them, who's raking in the millions for not doing anything much? I figure they have the last laugh.

"should not be taken before any activity requiring mental alertness"

Can't imagine that will be an issue for her, or any of her "followers"

FDA Warning Letter

Not their first time according to the letter. Seems they did something similar a couple of years ago, fines should now be imposed, on the Kardashian bint too. The stuff that gets advertised in the US as having some kind of pharmaceutical property is just mind boggling, the purveyors seem to make their cash from the mindless masses and get out of Dodge before the behemoth that is the FDA wakes up.

Most shocking!

"Kardashian, a high school graduate..."

That's easily the most shocking statement in the whole article!

Why would anyone take advice of any kind from a woman whose judgement is so sorely lacking that she's bringing the spawn of Kanye West into the world?
