To the Editor:
Dr. Ayashs letter is helpful in trying to clarify the regulatory terminology pertinent to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) marketing applications. It should be pointed out, however, that it is not, and should not be the responsibility of journal reviewers or editors to police the accuracy of claims statements from a regulatory standpoint. The FDA employs compliance officers who monitor advertised claims by manufacturers to ensure that they are consistent with the approved or cleared labeling for their products. Clinicians and researchers are not subject to the same claims restrictions as manufacturers.
