Guest guest Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 How then does the FDA explain Phen-Phen?? I think the FDA is an atypical government agency. They allow a dangerous diet drug on the market and hassle OTC's about wording on the labels of their products?? For FDA-approved prescriptives, I thought the key was demonstrating that an ingredient is more effective than placebo in treating a condition. A safety profile must be filed, and the FDA will not approve (or will recall) something that is shown to be dangerous, but a drug doesn't need to be safe to be approved -- just efficacious.
