Prescription drugs and medical devices are meant to help, not harm. Unfortunately, negligent practices on the part of pharmaceutical companies place patients throughout the U.S. at serious risk. Although the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) acts to regulate the drug industry, the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) authorizes the FDA to collect fees from companies that produce specific human drug and biological products. This Act has served to expedite the drug approval process and may be considered a contributing factor to the manufacture and sale of prescription drugs that are released to the general public, only to be recalled or required to have mandatory "black box" warning labels due to their potentially harmful or deadly side effects. Placing prescription drugs on the fast-track to approval may place unsuspecting consumers at risk.
