Health Authority LLC Orlando, FL (1/24). Reviewed Web site at www.doctorstrust.com. Misbranded: The site claims that the ISD-10 Immune System Defense is useful in preventing avian flu and other forms of influenza. These claims cause the product to be an unapproved drug. The labeling is false and misleading because its claims are not supported by competent and reliable scientific evidence. (ISD-10 Immune Defense System); FDCA 505, 502(a) (FLA-06-14)

Mayne Pharma (USA), Inc. Paramus, NJ (2/1). Reviewed a promotional mailer for MVI-12 (multi-vitamin infusion without vitamin K). The mailer is false or misleading because is omits important risk information and misbrands the drug. The lack of risk information suggests that the product is safer than has been demonstrated by substantial evidence or clinical experience. (MVI-12); FDCA 502(a), 201(n) (No Code)
