What is upjohn warnings?

Upjohn warnings refer to a set of instructions given to participants in a clinical trial to avoid disclosing information about the study or its results to people who are not involved in research. This includes not discussing the study with family members, colleagues, or the media, as well as not posting confidential information about the study on social media. These warnings were first introduced by the pharmaceutical company Upjohn in the 1970s and have since become a standard part of informed consent for clinical trials. The purpose of Upjohn warnings is to protect the integrity of the study and ensure that the results are not influenced by outside factors or bias. Failure to comply with these warnings can result in legal action against the participants.
