"All too often, patients and clinicians mistakenly view FDA approval as [an] indication that a product is fully safe and effective.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
We learn tremendous amounts about a product only once it's on the market and only after use among a broad population." * -- Dr. Caleb Alexander, co-director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Drug Safety and Effectiveness
"Seventy-one of the 222 drugs approved (by the FDA) in the first decade of the
millennium were withdrawn, required a "black box" warning on side
effects or warranted a safety announcement about new risks." * -- Dr. Joseph
Ross, an associate professor of medicine at Yale School of Medicine
