I have lost faith in the FDA. Many years ago I was diagnosed with an ulcer and prescribed Zantac before it was approved for OTC sales. Yes, it worked, but at what cost? Currently there is a class action lawsuit against the manufacturers of Zantac because it has been shown to cause cancer. Many drugs are touted on TV that now have similar lawsuits filed against them including Abilify, Cymbalta, Lyrica, Nexium, Paxil, Plavix and Zoloft. This is just a sample; there are far many more drugs on the list. Either Big Pharma has too much control over the FDA or the FDA doesn’t do due diligence in testing new drugs. Furthermore, I can remember a time when prescription medicines couldn’t be advertised on television. Now, patients flock to their doctors demanding prescriptions for drugs they are sure will be a panacea for whatever ails them. Another one of the contributors to this crisis is the drug reps who have no background whatsoever in biology or chemistry. They are hired just to push drugs. My son is a drug addict, specifically heroin and meth. He was prescribed OxyContin when his wisdom teeth were removed. I read Beth Macy’s book Dopesick which chronicled how OxyContin was marketed in the Appalachia and quickly spread a harrowing tale of horror and misery of opioid addiction throughout the United States. The manufacturer of the drug assured doctors it was not addictive. OxyContin has destroyed millions of families. The FDA has lost its credibility. I am not blaming doctors. They abide by FDA recommendations. I believe prescription drug manufacturers should not be allowed to advertise on television. I believe drug reps should have a background in pharmacology. I believe the FDA needs to be more diligent in its testing procedures. Big Pharma is destroying too many lives and the FDA is an impotent agency that cannot be trusted.
