But use of these tranquilizers during pregnancy is rarely a matter of urgency, and their use during this time should almost always be avoided. The w arning label we a re now requiring will pro vide physicians with the infor m ation they need to prescribe these drugs safely.” The warning must appear in the labeling provided to physi cians, m ust be set in boldface type and be a p a rt from other labels. It will advise physicians that before prescribing these tranquilizers for a woman of child-bearing age, they should consider the possibility that she may be pregnant. The warning will further advise physicians to tell women of childbearing age that if they become pregnant or wish to become pregnant while taking these drugs, they should discuss with their physicians the desirability of discontinuing the drug.

Advertisements can be mis leading and give people the wrong im pression of what a drug can and cannot do. We are a brainw ashed society. Com panies spend millions and mil lions of dollars for ad vertise m ents for T.V. and radio com m ercials and advertisem ent space, and we suck it all in. The Food and Drug Admini stration is aware of the lack of control over drugs available to the public and is currently work ing on the problem. We will see many drugs yanked off the shelves either because they are proven to be unsafe or for various other reasons. False ad-, vertizement will be monitored. Before à drug can be advertized to do certain things, it must be proven. If a drug can be harmful to your health it must be printed on the label. However this will take years and with new drugs being discovered on a daily basis the Food and Drug Ad ministration may never be able to catch up. Over-the-counter-drugs will always be available, therefore the responsibility lies with each one of us. The best thing to remember is that no drug is 100 per cent safe regardless of how harmless you think it is. Aspirin may appear to be harmless but people do die from overdoses of aspirin and some people cannot take aspirin at all. If we aren’t careful, drugs will control us, we won’t be able to control the $ug, ?
