submitted by: admin on 10/10/2013

The FDA is Bragging that the US Approves Drugs Faster than Europe
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Americans last year got access to 24 new medications before they became available in Europe. User fees from drug companies made this possible; they now provide about 1/3 of all funding that the FDA gets. This sets up a serious conflict of interest for the FDA that makes them beholden to Big Pharma's wishes.
Far too many look alike drugs are...
The Meaning of Time with Francesco Garri Garripoli
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013

The Saftey of Newly Approved Drugs
submitted by: admin on 12/22/2024
We are guinea pigs whenever a new drug comes onto the market. This is especially true for drugs that are "fast tracked" through the FDA.

Older drugs that have been on the market for decades are generally better tested and safer.
