NEW YORK (Reuters) - Janssen Pharmaceutica Products, a unit of Johnson & Johnson, notified doctors that it minimized the risks of a popular drug for schizophrenia in promotional materials, according to the Associated Press.
- Janssen sent a two-page letter to health care workers this week to clarify the risks of the drug, the report said, citing Janssen spokeswoman Carol Goodrich.
- Goodrich did not immediately return a phone message left by Reuters.
- Last year the Food and Drug Administration told several makers of antipsychotic drugs to update their product labels.
- The agency determined that Janssen's promotional material minimized the risk of strokes, diabetes, and other potentially fatal complications, according to the AP.
- The agency also said that Janssen had made misleading claims that the medication was safer than similar drugs.
