A member asked:
Should fda stop testing medicines and treatments for safety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, emphatically: Testing is what keeps us from the days of thalidomide. There should be more testing truthfully. To be able to make sure medicines are safe and fully understood. There are incentives to make sure these medicines are safe in children too. It's post market monitoring and continued testing that catches medicines like vioxx that turn out to have unknown but notable adverse effects.
