Unfortunately, many of us are indoctrinated to think that if a drug has FDA approval it must be all right, yet there have been over 200 FDA approved drugs that were later withdrawn after people became very sick or died. Here are a few you might recognize: Accutane, DES, Fen-Phen, Vioxx, Bextra, and Seldane. These caused serious problems ranging from birth defects, to tumors, to heart disease and increased risk of death. It is sadly evident that FDA approval does NOT necessarily mean a drug is safe, and the prevalence of unsafe medications in the marketplace stands in sharp contrast to the sensible adage: “First, do no harm.”
