FDA To List Drugs Under Review
The FDA recently announced that it will begin posting a list of approved drugs that it is investigating due to safety concerns. The list will be available on the FDA's website, and the FDA will update it on a quarterly basis.
The FDA receives, through its Adverse Event Reporting System, thousands of complaints each year about FDA approved drugs. The list that the FDA will post, however, will feature only those drugs that the FDA has chosen to investigate from the numerous complaints submitted.
While the FDA acknowledges that the list may create a type of false panic among consumers, the list may also serve to protect and inform conscientious consumers who are experiencing health complications from drugs that are on the FDA's quarterly list.
