Regulatory and medical review of advertising and promotional (ad promo) materials is a critical step in ensuring that drugs and medical devices are marketed in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and guidance. Ad promo materials include a wide range of materials, such as print ads, television commercials, social media posts, and website content.
Purpose of Regulatory/Medical Review
The primary purpose of regulatory and medical review of ad promo materials is to ensure that the materials are truthful, accurate, and not misleading. This helps to ensure that patients and healthcare professionals have access to reliable information about drugs and medical devices. Additionally, regulatory and medical review helps to ensure that ad promo materials comply with applicable laws, regulations, and guidance, including FDA regulations and guidance.
Ad Promo Review Process

The review team then evaluates the material to ensure that it is accurate, truthful, and not misleading. The team also evaluates the material to ensure that it complies with applicable laws, regulations, and guidance. If the review team identifies any issues or concerns with the ad promo material, they will provide feedback and recommendations to the manufacturer or distributor. The manufacturer or distributor can then make changes to the ad promo material and resubmit it for review.
