Fast-Track Drugs

Most people don't think twice about purchasing over-the-counter or herbal remedies. Likewise, when healthcare providers prescribe medications, patients assume they have passed FDA approval. Consumers also assume that if they read and follow the inserted directions and labels, they are protected.

Unfortunately, that's not always true. Too many patients suffer serious injuries or die because pharmaceutical companies race to get products approved and prioritize profits over thorough drug analysis.

• In the rush to get products to market, pharmaceutical companies may fail to disclose certain side effects or health risks.
• In some cases, adequate time is not spent on clinical trials, or researchers may miss important findings that come to light only after products are on the market and harm people.
• Mistakes can be made in manufacturing, which may result in tainted or defective products.
