This is an area where some kind of crowd-sourcing seems like it ought to work. The facts on side effects and morality exist once a drug is out in the wild, but we don't have any way of collecting it, curating it, or analyzing it.
Yet odds are that most of the people taking it (for any value of "it") have smartphones and could be prospectively matched with people not taking it (I'm an enemy of case-control studies for lots of reasons, but this may be an area where a well-designed one would work.)
