If your post was removed from our page, it could be for one of the following reasons:
- Your comment mentions a product or medicine. Industry standards require that all discussions regarding pharmaceutical products are supported by clinical data and represent fair balance. As we cannot guarantee that all user-generated content will represent fair balance, brand mentions will be removed.
- Your comment references an Adverse Event (AE) or Product Complaint (PC). If your post mentions or insinuates an AE or PC related to an Agios treatment, we may be required to contact you for further information. While your post will be removed, Agios may be required to report the relevant information to the FDA. If you prefer, you may contact the FDA directly at: www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
- Your comment contains vulgarity. Any post containing profane/vulgar language, personal attacks, or offensive terms that target specific age, gender-orientation, ethnic, racial or religious groups will be immediately removed.
- Your comment contains medical advice. Unsolicited and unverified medical advice may carry serious implications. Therefore, any post containing such information will be deleted.
- Your comment is off-topic. While we appreciate engagement on our page, content that is clearly off-topic or considered spam will be promptly removed.
- Other reasons. There may be a unique situation or circumstance that warrants the removal of Twitter content from our page. If you believe your content was unfairly removed from our page, please contact us and we will revisit the action to determine if it was done unjustly.
