Many think so. I mean, how can you be sure that the next panadol won't have a dangerous additive if they just advertice and report that "it's an improved recipe, with a stronger additive for xyz reason".
They would have full control of how the drugs will be presented.
“Its main supporters are drug companies and their associations, all of which would benefit from being allowed and encouraged to sell more drugs by making them seem safer than FDA has judged them to be.”More control to big companies. The investigations must be academically approved, but that hasn't stopped companies from funding and fishing "positive" studies while burring hindering or covering blank results.
While the proposal calls for the new information to come from peer-reviewed academic journals, critics note that such research often suffers from industry bias.
