Within recent years the effect of the First Amendment on FDA-controlled speech has drastically changed. Courts have stated standards for what FDA can do in controlling speech in advertisements. The difficult question is predicting the practical impact of these court decisions. FDA still has enormous authority to control speech and labeling. In this presentation we will discuss the balance between FDA control of indications versus court restrictions on FDA control of speech.

This audio conference will address:

• Changes in court interpretation allowing constitutional protection for commercial speech
• What the Supreme Court has said about how this affects FDA control of advertising
• FDA reaction
• How this plays out in cases brought under Fraud and Abuse Laws
