FDA
under
fire
***
Vioxx, Celebrex, Aleve —
is
any
drug
truly
safe
?
The
FDA
has
been
under
fire
for
months
—
from
congressional hearings
to
a
whistler
blower
who
says
the
FDA
isn't
cautious
enough
.
"
When
the
FDA
says
a
drug
is
safe
and
effective
, they've
got
it
half
right
,"
says
FDA
whistle
blower
David
Graham. "
The
drug
works
,
but
it's
not
necessarily
safe
."

stop
taking
it
?
