We're tracking prescription drugs that could potentially kill you.
The US prescription drug system has been under pressure for decades. Generic competition has forced innovators to find new ways to replace tried and true products. "User Fees" have placed the FDA in the position of both regulator and servant to the industry. Pressure to have new drugs reach the market sooner has inevitably lead to the true safety tests coming in the general population after the drugs have been approved for sale. The stream of negative data on major drugs should make one pause. The old adage to "wait 10 years before you take a new drug" may not be such a bad idea (if you can drag your MD away from the sales rep long enough to listen). Those terrible Zelnorm ads on television showing us women's bellies? Gone. Zelnorm? Gone. Could you have known it was a bad idea sooner? Yes, by tracking problems with the drug from this site. Our automated programs extract information from safety documents to create an index that will quickly show drugs that are currently under fire. It's a big list. Take your time.
