In reply to 16 Meds on FDA Watchlist includes Savella, Gabapen, posted by Phillipa on April 18, 2012, at 20:53:51
Most manufactured chemical meds are toxic to the human body in one way or another. Add to that the undesired consequences of side effects, the drug impacting other areas besides the target area, and of course risk and danger is involved.
In most cases of reported toxic effects from meds I personally think the problem is in the dosing not the med itself. Doses are much too high with many meds, but most especially in the early stages of treatment. My opinion anyway.
Also opinion, the FDA is pretty much worthless. Except maybe for keeping outright fraudulent meds or outright deadly meds out of the open market. Well, based on recent news of past weeks, maybe that's not even true. They also prevent perfectly good meds with long track records around the world from entering the USA. Example amisulpride.
I don't think the meds should be on a FDA watchlist, the FDA itself should be on a watchlist.
