Can the FDA give me medical or dietary advice?

Asked 6 months ago
No, the FDA is not authorized to provide personalized medical or dietary advice. The FDA's role is to regulate and oversee products such as drugs, vaccines, food, dietary supplements, and medical devices. While they provide information on these products, they cannot offer personalized advice due to individual differences in health conditions and needs. It is important to consult healthcare professionals or registered dietitians who can consider your specific circumstances for tailored recommendations. They can address concerns, provide guidance, and answer questions regarding medical conditions, medications, or dietary choices. By seeking professional advice, you can make informed decisions regarding your health and dietary needs.
