FDA forced Dr D Graham to blow the whistle
Dr David Graham says circumstances at the FDA became such that he felt forced blow the whistle - he said he had to
protect consumers from dangerous drugs.
Dr Graham reckons Vioxx harmed at least 88,000 people, of which at least one third died. He claimed during a TV program
called Nightline (ABC TV) that he felt the situation had forced him to speak.
Dr Graham said during the Nightline program, "We have a system that is biased toward approving drugs almost regardless of the
safety risks. Any reason will be looked for to approve a drug, unless there's an overwhelming safety reason not to approve a
drug."
Dr Graham is one of the top FDA scientists. During his 20 years at the FDA he has overseen the recalling of 10 drugs. The
recall of Vioxx is the biggest selling drug ever to be recalled. It had been consumed by 20 million people in the USA alone.
According to Merck's studies, patients taking Vioxx had double the heart attack risk when compared to a placebo - Vioxx gave
patients a 15 per thousand risk compared to a placebo's 7.5 per thousand risk.
Graham reckons the FDA dragged its feet and should have told people about the risks earlier on. He said that if things had
been different the drug would have been banned in 2000 (as soon as study results were known).
The FDA is holding a meeting on Vioxx next year.
Many Americans wonder why the import ban on prescription drugs should carry on. President Bush had told the public that
drugs approved in the USA gave US citizens a guarantee of quality and safety.
