		Products listed in Drugs@FDA as "discontinued" are approved products that have never been marketed, have been discontinued from marketing, are for military use, are for export only, or have had their approvals withdrawn for reasons other than safety or efficacy after being discontinued from marketing.
		By designating a single reference listed drug as the standard to which all generic versions must be shown to be bioequivalent, FDA hopes to avoid possible significant variations among generic drugs and their brand name counterpart.
		If a generic drug product is ready for approval before the expiration of any patents or exclusivities accorded to the reference listed drug product, FDA issues a tentative approval letter to the applicant.

		Another drug in this class, the weight reduction drug Meridia, was the subject of a petition from Public Citizen last month to remove it from the market because of cardiovascular toxicity serious enough to cause the FDA medical officer and its advisory committee to recommend it not be approved.

		Given the frequent introduction of drugs for which new serious adverse events are discovered, the FDA should consider raising its threshold for approving new drugs when safe, effective therapies already exist, or when the new drug treats a benign condition.

	Adverse effect (medicine) Summary
		Using a drug or other medical intervention which is contraindicated may increase the risk of adverse effects.
		Adverse effects, like intended effects of drugs, are a function of dosage or drug levels at the target organs, so they may be avoided or decreased by means of careful and precise pharmacodynamics (the change of drug levels in the organism in function of time after administration).
		Adverse effects may also be caused by drug interaction, i.e., when physicians fail to check for all medicaments a patient is taking and prescribe new ones which interact agonistically or antagonistically (potentiate or decrease the intended therapeutic effect).

		The World Health Organization (WHO) has removed three generic HIV medicines manufactured in India from its prequalification list, which is supposed to help governments and others chose good-quality drugs to use in their public health campaigns.
		The three combination antiretrovirals, manufactured by Ranbaxy Laboratories, were taken off the list because a contract research organization (CRO) that had done bioequivalence studies on behalf of Ranbaxy was found to be noncompliant with good clinical and laboratory practices.
		Jarrett said he thought the delisting of the drugs was a sign of the strength of the WHO prequalification system.

	IngentaConnect Can pharmacogenetics help rescue drugs withdrawn from the market? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		For the majority of these 38 drugs there are, at present, no candidates for genetic traits to which the toxicity that led to their withdrawal may be linked.
		In addition, the pharmacogenetic rescue of drugs might not be as effective as anticipated as hardly any pharmacogenetic test is known to have the required test efficiency to promote individualized therapy.
		Multiple pathways of drug elimination, contribution to toxicity by metabolites as well as the parent drug, gene-gene interactions, multiple mechanisms of toxicity and inadequate characterization of phenotype account for this lack of highly predictive tests.
