Why are certain drugs taken off the market and not others?

August 4, 2009

I would say that the pharmaceutical industry and their army of lawyers does not

very often loose a case and the rare ones that they do loose, .. probably result

in the pulling of certain drugs from store shelves and a lot of times the drug

company also is then required by law to publish the results of the harm that

their drug has caused. They only recently have been ordered to make the print

large enough so that we can actually read the warnings. I think all those drugs

are harmful and can be deadly especially when you start talking about the drug

cocktails where people are taking ten and twenty different pills a day and

nobody cares what is really going on. Yeah, it's probably because they have such

good lawyers and are in the pockets of all the politicians and on down the line.

Don't think for a minute it's 'cause those other drugs are 'safe'... no way..

Some estimate that pharmaceuticals are the fifth leading cause of death for

Americans and the leading cause of addiction. If these stats are true then are

certain pharmaceuticals taken off the market because they prove to be especially

deadly or because for some reason they've received more public scrutiny than

other pharmaceuticals? The media thrives on hype and increases ratings by

scaring the public about certain drugs that have killed a few people. The media

has to weigh the benefits of a story that increases ratings but may alienate its

corporate revenue sources. So why do some drugs which may have harmed only a few

individuals receive much more coverage and are banned than probably many others

that are at least as deadly?
