FDA E expansiion bill Scheduled For Monday April 30,2007 @2:45pm

[Guest guest]

The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) Revitalization Act, S.1082 that will

expand FDA power in the name of Increased Safety for Dangerous Drugs, but

actually provides that while all clinical trials, even those that " fail " must

be

reported to FDA, the FDA DOES not Have to disclose these results to the

public. In other words Drug companies can still hide the dangerous side effects

of

their drugs.

Call your 2 Senators to oppose this bill. You can find your senators at

_www.senate.gov_ (http://www.senate.gov) choose your state and their names and

web pages will appear. All senators can be contacted at 202-224-3121, the

congressional switchboard, ask to be connected to your senators.Ask your

senators to oppose S.1082, the FDA Revitalization Act. It would endanger the

Dietary Supplement Health Education Act(DSHEA) by authorizing Risk assessment,

prohibited by DSHEA. It claims to deal with needed prescription drug safety, by

requiring reports of ALL clinical trials to FDA, BUT FDA DOES NOT HAVE TO

DISCLOSE those results to the public!! And even those states that require

reports of clinical trials cannot do that any longer.
