creepy....

[Mr. P]

This is what you said to me.

You were wrong and I was right.

The company does the testing and presents their findings to the FDA. The FDA is depending on the company to properly document their study and not to lie in the study. When you have an FDA head who is going to make money from the companies success then you have a real problem huh? That is just what Bush and the Republican party gave us huh?

It does take years to get a drug to market, TM, and the FDA dictates the testing process the manufacture must follow, not the manufactures.

The FDA does not do the testing the company does it

[Gaffer]

The FDA does not do the testing the company does it

And if a dem is in office the practice will continue. A dem appointee will then get the kick backs instead of a repub.

uh...he didn't say that?

you know....dictates....like tell you what to do...sorta how you want the Gov to do for us

They set the testing criteria which is not doubt a scientific criteria.

The company then pays for and performs the testing and documantation, then htey submitt it all to the FDA. The FDA then desides wether to allow the drug to market based on the information given them by the company.


Man I wish people would just be fair for a change.

Did you mean 'no doubt?"

And this takes years, right? Not only that, approved patent applications take even longer.

Do you honostly think the FDA takes the study put forth by the Pharnacuiticle companies. You are more dense than I ever gave you credit for. The studies are PAID for by the drug manufacturers but they are RUN by the FDA. It takes YEARS before a new drug makes it to market.... The drugs yor using today were developed back in the 80's and 90's and are just now completing final testing.

Ohhh wait in TM's world we just come up with a new drug and tell the government it works OK so we can give it out right, and the government says sure why not, no need to PROVE your testing to us WE believe you.... IDIOT!!!!!!

This is what he said to me.

And?

do you even know how to comprehend what you read? i mean seriously. she wasn't going against the years to do it, it was more of a reasurance, with the patents taking long also as a back up.

do you wear a normal bike helmet or do you have to special order one?

Lets just say 'yes, a new drug has to go through several processes before it reaches drug stores. In some instances, this can take over a decade. '

I forget the other arguement - something about meds not mental disorders causing random shootings?

Semantics. Standards are set federally. That is, testing standards are set, federally. The trials a drug must undergo are set federally. I think most of us knew what was meant by that statement. Sadly, I often have to read your posts a number of times to make sense of them.

[truthmatters]

So I was called a slurry of names for semantics?

you people are so fair minded.

The companies perform and pay for the tests and he called me several names for saying so.

Wow. You're way too emotional. So much so that it affects your ability to concentrate and reason........but not rationalize. You don't think things through, you just react. Your posts remind me of 'fight or flight' blind furry sort of responses. You sound like a crybaby half the time too. And that is more than fair.

[truthmatters]

Come on Said!

I was right and you guys know it.

The companies pay for and preform the testing and then the FDA reads it and desides what step to take.

They can order more testing , flat deny it, or approve the drug for use.

The FDA does not do the testing and he was wrong.

man people
