In reply to Phase IV results where to read?/ yxibow, posted by stargazer on November 21, 2006, at 18:09:50
> Where can I read about the results of the studies, i.e long term outcomes? I'm curious what data is evaluated and # of patients included. It would be interesting to know how many patients that were in the pre-marketing studies were included in the post-marketing studies, and what was the length of time they were on the med, why did they stop it, etc.

> I don't know that I have ever read this type of information, but the drug companies must have to follow the patients one year, 5 years after beginning the drug, in order follow long term results and adverse effects...SGUnder the previous link I mentioned, towards the bottom there is another link highlighted "The postmarketing study information includes the basic information the FDA....." this will pop up a window which will give you an entry form some public information but not everything about a medication, unfortunately. I agree, there could be more FOIA, but that is what they provide
