In a poll raised by the SFDA on its intranet portal about advertisements of drugs and food products, 68.35% voted that they do not trust such ads and consumers are deceived by them. However, 24.31% think that they are realistic to some extent, while 3.67% believe that they are quite realistic. The remaining 3.67% voted (I don’t know).
D. Abdulmuhsen Alruhaimy, the director of researches and publication department in the SFDA, commented that this poll considered a preliminary step to determine the consumer awareness, and the SFDA is about to make educational campaigns that will be announced soon.
It worth mentioning that the S.F.D.A raises polls on its intranet portal periodically about issues of food, drug and medical devices. Anyone can participate in the recent poll through this link:
