Thalidomide was extremely effective in treating morning sickness, it was just dangerous to fetuses.
Why does the Thalidomide tragedy justify the FDA testing for _effectiveness_?
- gus_massa 14y agoSorry, I couldn't remember something more relevant, like a pill for the heart that reduces the blood pressure but after some years it produces more strokes. But if no one test the new proposed drugs for effectiveness and side effects, then there would be more death and complications.
