If you can get a big enough following from customer lists and newsletters you might want to start your own forum. But I always see people trying to start

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

a forum and it falls flat on their face, mainly because they make it too big and they never promote it.

The main reason is because nobody eats in an empty

; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug.

Examples of combination products may in

restaurant. Don't setup a "multiple topic" forum like phpBB where it allows you to partition the thing off into different subjects. You have to start sma

lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

ll, get enough traffic to that forum for THAT type of forum to become self-sustaining before you build bigger.

By that I mean start off with a blog.

This

here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe

blog (and eventually your message board) HAVE to have a niche. You can't just have a general purpose hang-out message board, or have it based on something

Combination pro

You supply all the posts, and any user "posts" will just be comments to this journal. Don't require

easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi

any sort of signup in order to post.

Give people an option to sign up for e-mail updates but DO NOT use the autoresponder built into the blogging softwar

nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically

. Instead use a separate autoresponder script. Why? Two reasons:

1.) You can write a quick teaser message that will entice more subscribers to read you

and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ

r posts than any boring automated notice could. 2.) This way it will be easier to move subscribers over once you graduate from a blog (keep reading).

Start off allowing anyone to post, but once you start getting traffic to that page and the blog spam starts roll

ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it.

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel
