For decades
pharmaceutical companies have received profits in their
industry that now make it the most profitable in the world.
Seizing the opportunity created by the public outcry for the
concern over the HIV/AIDS epidemic, big pharmaceutical
companies lobbied for and crafted legislation to allow for
the fast tracking of drugs. The Prescription Drug User Fee
Act (PDUFA), with its fast tracking drug approval provisions
has accounted for an increasing introduction of new drugs
into the marketplace over the last twelve years. A natural
result of shortening the time period in which to investigate
is the dizzying number of drugs recalled from the market,
and those for which the Food and Drug Administration must
require more stringent warnings than the companies are
willing to provide on their own. Additionally, the number of
consumers injured by pharmaceutical products has risen since
the change to fast tracking drugs.
