DOCTORS TESTING MEDICINES BEFORE FDA APPROVAL ARE POORLY REGULATED. CALIFORNIA DRUG LAWYERS ARE HERE TO HELP YOU NOW.

The Food & Drug Administration is coming under new scrutiny for not appropriately vetting doctors who try out medications prior to FDA approval. The Department of Health and Human Services discovered that financial information was missing for over 40% of doctors conducting research on new medications. One third of drug researchers’ financial data had never been reviewed by FDA regulators. This lax oversight of medication trials is another in a series of recent complaints against the FDA. Other recent allegations included insufficient trial periods and a slowness to react to approved medication side effects and overdose potentials. If you or a loved one has been injured by an FDA approved or pre-FDA approved drug in Southern California, call 1-800-ALAWPRO to speak with a lawyer for free.
