The FDA’s Function Related to Side EffectsA drug must be approved by the FDA before it can be put on the market. Any New Drug Applications (NDAs) submitted by pharmaceutical companies must provide evidence that the drug has its intended effect and is safe. Evidence comes from testing the drug, first in animals and then in humans. Once the drug is determined safe and efficient, it will be approved by the FDA if it deems that its benefits outweigh its risks. Nevertheless, in some instances a drug’s side effects will not show up until after the medication enters the marketplace and more people start using it. MedWatch is the FDA’s post-marketing surveillance program which seeks voluntary input, mainly from health care professionals, on unwanted effects they see every day. If these reports are numerous or serious enough, the FDA will take regulatory action such as requiring the manufacturer to add warnings to a drug’s label. Additionally, The FDA also wants input from consumers. Prescription drugs must have s label that contains a toll-free number the agency has for letting it know about side effects with prescription drugs, referred to as "adverse events." Consumers can report severe side effects by call MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088 or by reporting serious problems to the FDA on its website. Sometimes, the FDA approved the new drug but have certain reservations about the drug and order the manufacture to perform a post-marketing study. If the post-marketing study comes back with new or severe side effects it will take action. For example, in both the Kombiglyze XR Lawsuit and the Onglyza Lawsuit, the FDA ordered safety warning be pot on all Onglyza and Kombiglyze XR bottles that the drugs could result in cardiovascular injury after the manufacturers’ post-marketing study revealed the cardiovascular side effects, among others.
