Talk:Boxed warning

message: "The Rule in Practice" section needs to be cleaned up and cited... was this written by a doctor or are there published sources to back this up, besides the one external link on this page? Moushi 22:08, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The FDA uses the term "Boxed Warning" to describe the subject at hand - that is its official title.
The term "black box warning" is a sensational phrase, commonly used by the lay-press to convey a sinister meaning (like "black magic" or "black lie" do).
Rather than using the sensational term as the title, and giving brief mention to other names including "boxed warning," I propose that it would be more appropriate to rename the page "Boxed Warning," and then give the colloquial names their due mention subsequently.

replies: text: I agree that we should use the official term and have a redirect from more collaquial terms to the official term.  We can also have a brief discussion of the issue on the page. I will note that FDA has used the term "black box warning" in some of their discussions (See ) but it does appear that "Boxed Warnings" is the more official term.

replies: text:  Wikipedia's rule is in most cases to use the name by which an article's subject is most commonly known, which is not necessarily the same as the name as authorities would use.  121a0012 (talk) 20:26, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree with your assertion. As a test, I looked up another medical term by its common name, "partial-birth abortion," and was redirected to the Intact dilation and extraction page (I don't know anyone who uses THAT term! But it is the correct name of the procedure, just as "Boxed Warning" is the correct name for the topic at hand). DoctorEric (talk) 02:48, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Changing the title of this page

message: just added a list of drugs with boxed warnings. I removed it. The immediate problem was that no reference was provided to verify the information. This might be useful information if a source was provided to confirm this and especially if there are other sources which give commentary on the list, but before adding this the sources should be identified. It might be best for this list to go in its own article and for this article to link to the list.  Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:10, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

message: The term 'boxed warning' is unclear. The article is not global. This article should not open with 'in the United States' or needs its named changed, or the 'in other jurisdication' section should be split into its own article. I am unsure if this should be rewritten to be about the global concept of warnings in drug labels and package or safety information on drug labels (to use some phrasing from cited sources) or if we need to create a new article, but the way this is written right now is just bad.

replies: text: General information about warnings and safety belong in Medication package insert#Sections of the Prescribing Information.  There isn't much to say:  The first thing to say is that they exist.  The second thing to say is that legal department of pharma companies want every possible side effect warned against in the US, and the FDA restricts them to listing only those things that can be proven to the FDA's satisfaction to be real.  (The lawyers want this so that they can respond to Product liability lawsuits with "We officially told you that there was a risk that your skin would turn bright blue on alternate Tuesdays, so we aren't liable".)  There isn't much else to say about it. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:36, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Several of the "other countries" aren't related to this subject at all.  I removed two countries, and it's possible that the others need to be removed as well.  This really is a US-specific subject. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:38, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: "This really is a US-specific subject." Agree.  Appropriate to See also/main article/broader Medication package insert. I'm adding it. RudolfoMD (talk) 22:38, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
