RULES OF USE:
Thank you for taking the time to visit our page. This is a place for people to become better informed and find support through connections with others who have similar experiences. This page is sponsored by IQVIA and provides a forum for individuals to view materials, share information and engage in conversations about health, illness and treatment. It’s also a destination to learn about programs like clinical research, observational studies and disease management programs aimed to bring about new treatments and improve overall health. Since this is a public forum, there are a few rules for visitors to be aware of – and comply with. First, the basics:
• Comments and opinions that are posted by visitors don’t necessarily reflect the opinions of the Clinical Research page, IQVIA or our employees and affiliates. Which means, for you lawyers out there, that we assume no responsibility or liability arising from any content posted by visitors on our page.
• We don’t verify or endorse any posts or content posted by visitors and don’t warrant their accuracy. Similarly, we don’t endorse any third-party websites or pages that may be linked from our page, and we aren’t responsible or liable for the content or accuracy of any other websites or third party pages. Visitors should read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each third party website they visit.
• All comments posted here are subject to moderation, and may be edited or removed at any time to maintain community standards, to comply with these Rules of Use or for any other lawful reasons.
• We may use any comments posted and any other information shared on or through this page or other public pages for market research purposes, to further the goal of improving health worldwide. This includes responses to any voluntary surveys and other opportunities provided through this page. In the case of these voluntary surveys, we won’t use any of this information in a way that will identify you. For example, responses to voluntary surveys will be grouped together, so they don’t identify a particular person.
• All posts must be courteous and respectful. We also would like for posts to be on-topic (that’s why we’re all here).
• Posts may not contain anything that is unlawful, threatening, libelous, accusatory, defamatory, obscene, offensive, inflammatory, pornographic or profane, or anything that we deem inappropriate.
• (The previous three bullets can be boiled down to a simple rule of thumb: play nice.)
• Posts may not contain anything that identifies or could be used to identify a specific person or company – we don’t want to hear about Dr. XYZ or Company 123.
• All visitors must be eighteen (18) years or older to post on this page.
• Everything on this page is intended only for people in the United States. And the not-so-basics:
• No brand names, please. We’re not here to discuss, argue or seek data on any specific medication – or any claims related to a brand name drug or treatment. This is one of those instances where our moderators will definitely jump in: if you post something that contains a brand name, it will be removed. (We’d prefer that you don’t post anything like that in the first place, of course.)
• Our page may not be used to promote any products or services and we will remove any posts that we deem to be misleading or thinly disguised sales pitches.
• No medical or professional advice or diagnoses may be given – not by users of the site and not by us. Keep in mind that the contents of this page are for information purposes only and should never be relied on as the basis for making a decision or taking an action. Any health or medical information that’s posted here is not intended as a substitute for specific medical advice, and is not meant to replace the judgment of a healthcare professional. So if you do choose to rely on content that you see here, you are doing so at your own risk. Be smart: take your specific medical questions to a medical expert. Plus a very important additional point:
• If you have any questions or concerns about any medications you’re taking, or have an adverse reaction, contact your healthcare provider right away. We also encourage you to report adverse events to the FDA: http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/HowToReport/default.htm
In addition, you can contact the product’s manufacturer directly to report adverse events. Changes to these Rules of Use:
As new situations arise, we may need to change or add to these Rules of Use at any time. If we do make changes, we'll post a revision date to the bottom of this page.

A newly reported clinical trial in kids with Tourette syndrome found that an investigational medication significantly reduced the frequency and severity of involuntary motor and vocal tics compared with placebo, without the sedation and weight gain that often limit current treatments. Tourette syndrome is a neurological condition that usually begins in childhood and can interfere with school, work, and social life, yet treatment options have been limited and often come with challenging side effects. The results suggest this targeted therapy could offer a more effective and better-tolerated option for managing tics.
Health experts are raising concerns about ultra-processed foods. Packaged snacks, sugary drinks, and fast food, all of which are becoming a major part of many kids’ diets in the US, are increasingly linked to chronic health issues. Growing research suggests these foods may be connected to a wide range of long-term health problems, including asthma. Researchers suspect the inflammation caused by ultra-processed foods might irritate the lungs leading to the development of asthma. This finding only reinforces the importance of fresh food items.
