"Systematic reviews indicate that one in seven new drugs is superior to existing drugs, but two in every seven new drugs result in side effects serious enough for action by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), including black box warnings, adverse reaction warnings, or even withdrawal of the drug,"
Professor Donald Light.

Hi!
I'm happy I found your blog.
It's good to approach all these scandals with a dash of sense of humor.
FDA don't like black box warnings.
Red letters are not graphic appealing.
Some side effects are terrible enough to make the drug out of the market.
But a black box warning would do!
