"F.D.A. Backtracks and Returns Drug to Market

Seems like Josh Sharfstein is concerned about the health and expressed concerns of consumers of certain drug products.

E-cigarette consumers and public health advocates should remind the FDA (and the news media) of FDA's reversal on its ban of midodrine sales while refusing to end its import ban on e-cigarettes."

If nothing else the media should look at the FDA's track record for "approved" drugs already. More than one lawsuit is out there for drugs that the FDA has given their seal of approval on. Not the mention the side effect of most of them are worse than the cause they are suppose to fix.

Friking Dumb Asses!

Why the heck cant we manufacture attys and cartos in America we're just as smart or even smarter than the chinese............idk!

We could, but vapers are not willing to pay the extra cost yet. (While some SAY they will, most will still buy the chinese liquid)

[BEERCITYVAPRZ]

From a buyers standpoint to keep things going, id like to see us (America) manufacture our own ecig supplies to avoid the fda hold ups from china, Alot of people make liquid in the states so we have that covered and we all have a PV already its just now how can we maintain our vaping exeperience without all the bs!..........make the stuff ourselves, making attys in the states is really going to be expensive? its the liquid, attys, and batteries that are going to keep us going in the future. If its banned i'll pay the extra cost!

Gov needs to let the FDA let the public decide... the public users, not the biased greedy jerks.... on what's working and what's not. The PEOPLE know... Whatever happened to "WE the people" in the constitution anyway?

Yea, what about the multitude of commercial ads on TV for drugs that have been approved by the FDA. Yes, they list all the possible side effects (which are often worse than the ailment they are supposed to treat), and that's supposed to make it ok to mass advertise. Then on the very next commercial break there is an ad for a law firm that is conducting a class action against those same drug companies, because of reported illness and deaths. WTF
