Saying it takes about one billion dollars for a new medication or drug and 15 years before it hits the market and they have shown two brothers with an illness, the same illness, and they gave the older son no medicine and the other son was able to get the study medicine........and he is doing great........the son without the meds is not doing good. So so sad...............improvement in the son that was younger.........doing great.......the older child is not doing good and he wants access to the meds that helped his brother and the FDA is withholding medicines to these people.........so a person can be an FDA victim. Thousands die each year due to drugs being held on the shelf.

There was no side effects on the drug that helped the son it was given to. Goldwater Institute seems to be trying to get this to change like if I understand it........a person can get the drug before its approved. We should be able to take what we want to take if it can or is helping others..........

What was the drug and what was the medical issue?

I cannot help but wonder how many people would be condemning the FDA and federal government if a drug were to make it to market without thorough testing and caused harm to countless people.

R&R I don't know about the case you're talking about, but public outcry helped Josh Hardy get past the FDA and melted the heart of the head of a drug company. Now he's on the road to recovery with a drug not ready for use yet.

Why are you so obsessed with drugs? You are always looking for more to take and its not a good thing.

I don't know how long you have been here, but if you've been here any length of time, you'll know that many, many people here have warned her about her mixing and matching of prescriptions, and the dangers of it.

She chooses to ignore their advice.

Anybody who has been here long enough, knows that the o/p has a history of not taking her RX's as prescribed.

She'll take more or less than what was prescribed, skip doses, and doctor and pharmacy shops, often calling a pharmacy asking them what meds she should be taking, for whatever the ailment du jour is.

She denies doing any or all of this, and gets mean when called on it.
