Drug Trials Promised but Unseen by FDA

The FDA has reported that 2/3 of the drugs approved by the agency remain untested and unproven.  When new drugs are approved for public use, they are supposed to report the results of clinical trials to the FDA.  One drug approved in 1955 has still not complied with these tests.  These studies are important in that they are intended to reveal if the drugs are working as intended and whether they are producing any side effects.
