Most-Critical Pharmaceutical Social-Media Resources

What are the must-read social-media articles and blogs for pharmaceutical marketers? I began to pull together some of my favorites, but began to get ill rereading about the same case studies... and cutting through nonsense.

Here's my start.

FDA and social media: The regulated community's current obsession overlooks off-label promotions by the advocacy community

This morning I received a tweet exhorting me to learn about Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for autoimmune diseases. (Naltrexone, by the way, is approved by the FDA only to treat alcoholism.) Within a few clicks, I found claims that LDN would be a good drug to take for dozens of conditions: everything from neuroblastoma to HIV to celiac disease, and learned of a network of tweeps promoting LDN.

The above tweet linked to a blog promoting LDN which is part of the Health Central community.

Welcome to Social Pharmer!

The idea for this network was born out of a roundtable discussion at the 2008 Digital Pharma conference (Princeton, NJ).

We - the attendees - realized that ironically, while we were all involved or highly interested in social media, we tended to work in silos and did not have a common forum for learning, sharing, and/or discussing the issues of social media in the highly regulated industry of pharmaceuticals and healthcare. Hence, I decided to form this community and take advantage of the very thing that drives our passions -- social media.

Welcome to Social Pharmer -- Sowing Seeds of Social Media in Pharma and Healthcare.
