And the loser is, the general public.
Among the highlights of the new survey are the following:
- over three-quarters, 76%, believe FDA’s approval process is too slow;
- 60% believe FDA hinders their use of new therapies;
- 73% believe FDA approval delays hurt patients;
- 70% favor changing the law to give physicians access to unapproved therapies if they carry a warning about their unapproved status;
- 80% favor having Vioxx available again.

I will prescribe regimen for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgement and never do harm to anyone.
The amount of “bad” drugs and procedures kept off the market is outweighed by the harm done from the long delays in the FDA approval process.
In the view of many analysts, impeding the availability of new therapies creates a far greater risk to public health than that posed by the handful of drugs and devices that may have been erroneously approved.
