Do you expect everything that is FDA approved to be safe? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Research out of Brigham and Women's Hospital found that for drugs approved by the FDA between the years of 2001 and 2010, almost 1 in 3 had a safety event after it went to market. The researchers looked at drugs that were taken off the market completely, a black box warning or FDA issuance of some sort of safety communication. They found that of 222 novel therapeutics the FDA approved during this time period, three were withdrawn, 61 received boxed warnings and 59 elicited safety communications. This is significant. Remember, when drugs are studied they are not studied in every person and every circumstance and they can only seek approval on data they were able to gather.
