In spite of the fact that Zicam a drug approved for use for colds and allergies the has FDA recently issued warnings this drug is still on the shelves. It seems the FDA warnings are useless and not enforced when it comes to drugs profiting large drug companies. Is this a monopoly on health for Americans or a tainted organization that is supposed to protect people and food this system due to political corruption still sells dangerous drugs but with a warning.

quote:
” DENVER — On the heals of a warning from the U.S. Federal Drug Administration, the Call7 Investigators find nasal Zicam products still on store shelves.The FDA issued the warning letter to the makers of Zicam after the agency received more than 130 reports of loss of smell associated with the use of the over the counter product. The Call7 Investigators were the first to uncover potential health problems with the cold remedy 5 years ago.”
Despite this, a lawyer for Matrixx conceded that Matrixx didn’t share 800 reports of smell loss from Zicam users with the FDA and this drug is made in facilities in India. Matrixx has 2000 employees -200 of which are research scientists. FDA warnings are useless.

You pose a good question. What really is going on at the FDA? One thing for sure is that they have suddenly decided to go after certain companies and products that have been on the market for years. Cheerios, Lasik, Zicam among them. If something poses a threat or danger to us, the FDA needs to explain what is taking so long to warn the public. The whole thing is a waste of taxpayer money the way the agency is operated now. When is the FDA going to get a much needed overhaul? It’s a disgrace, full of conflicts of interest and corruption. And they want me to trust them with my own stem cells? I think not thank you.
We assume that President Bush did not think the FDA was a high priority and dismantled it during the last eight years and it may explain their complete incompetence today. The FDA needs a “major overhaul” starting from the top down. Eliminating all former drug company executives who make decisions and affect policy is a good start. There are plenty of experienced graduates who can fill those positions who are not looking after the profits of drug companies but rather actually doing the work the FDA was created to accomplish. Protecting children, adults and seniors from any type of danger from either food or drugs which would require a completely unbiased approval system. Drugs these days are being pushed out the door without independent testing rather the FDA accepts the tests the drug companies provide as proof. The system has gone haywire- and we need change now!! Thank you for your comment.
