The panel concluded that the FDA should communicate the risk of long-lasting reactions to the consumers and doctors, according to the Associated Press. "This is almost a no-brainer," said panel member Michael Bigby, MD, a Harvard Medical School dermatologist, quoted in the Associated Press. "The current label is not adequate." The panel also agreed on the need for more safety studies.
