When it comes to medical advice, it's probably best not to take it from Kim Kardashian.

I have written about my love of the Kardashians many times, but I’m the first to say we should probably not be taking medical advice from them.

Kim Kardashian can teach you many things.

How to take a good selfie. How to contour your way through life. How to pose nude with or without a baby inside of you.

But when it comes to medical advice, probably don’t look to the Kardashians for guidance.

In fact, just avoid Instagram/Social media in general really.

I feel like I shouldn’t need to say this, but with the news that the US government has had to review a post on Kim K’s Instagram about a miracle cure for morning sickness, it’s probably worth reiterating.

Kardashians: Good for light entertainment.

Doctors: Good for medical things.

The government has issued a WARNING LETTER to Eric Gervais of Duchesnay, Inc in regards to Kim’s endorsement of Diclegis.

Part of the letter reads, “The social media post is false or misleading in that it presents efficacy claims for DICLEGIS, but fails to communicate any risk information associated with its use and it omits material facts.”

Yes. Because it was posted by a Kardashian, not a Doctor.

The letter continues, “OPDP requests that Duchesnay immediately cease misbranding DICLEGIS and/or cease introducing the misbranded drug into interstate commerce.

To the extent possible, corrective messaging should be distributed using the same media, and generally for the same duration of time and with the same frequency that the violative promotional material was disseminated.”

In other words, “stop saying this drug is good when there has been zero testing on it for hyperemesis gravidarum. And P.S Kim K has to post on Instagram about how it has not cured her morning sickness.”

Considering how closely Kim monitors her Insta page, we imagine she would not be impressed with this.

One last time in case the message was confusing: if you have a medical condition, consult a Doctor, not a Kardashian.

Hope that got through.

As mentioned, Kim Kardashian is very good at guidance re: selfies. Enjoy.
