Correction: Kim Kardashian-FDA Warning story
WASHINGTON (AP) — In a story Aug. 11 about Kim Kardashian's social media promotions of a morning sickness drug, The Associated Press erroneously described the removal of a different version of the drug from the market in 1983.
Kardashian recently began promoting a prescription pill to treat morning sickness through her social media accounts.
[...] FDA regulators say the posts violate rules for promoting drugs because they don't mention side effects of Diclegis, which include sleepiness that can make it dangerous to drive or perform other activities that require mental alertness.
The drug label warns that Diclegis should not be combined with alcohol or other medications that cause drowsiness, such as sleeping aids or certain pain relievers.
The posts also fail to mention that Diclegis is not approved for women with a form of prolonged vomiting that causes dehydration, the FDA notes.
The agency calls on the company to remove the social media posts immediately and outline a plan for preventing future violations by Aug. 21
