[quote=anonin;503736] a) don't participate in clinical trials that test how drugs interact with other drugs and side effects like 'yo, you might grow breasts' are listed b) don't fuck with clinical trials that have drugs in early ass stages like phase 2 [/quote]

but DO takes those hits of E that some random dude mixed up his basement.:shock:

[QUOTE=anonin;503736]update

most def. NOT doing it, the second drug they are testing is only in phase 2 of FDA approval, i basically told the lady "phase 3 or stfu", no way i'm fucking around with some phase 2 bullshit thats gonna make me grow breasts. AND the study is for a drugs by glaxosmithkline and last time i checked they wern't even that sweet, so in conclusion,

a) don't participate in clinical trials that test how drugs interact with other drugs and side effects like 'yo, you might grow breasts' are listed b) don't fuck with clinical trials that have drugs in early ass stages like phase 2 c) don't participate in clinical trials with only the $ on your mind, fact is big drug companies are dodgy as fuck and your health is more important than $.[/QUOTE]

And I'm wondering why it took you so long to figure all this out. Fuck that being a guinea pig shit, I'd rather have no money at all!

[quote=WaveSculptor;503593][FONT=Arial] If you wish to direct me to some resources that might broaden my perspective on pharmaceutical research and the FDA approval process, I would certainly jump at the opportunity.[/FONT][/quote] sorry it took so long to get back to you. clinics... anyway, my pharmacist friend said this about the approval process Drug approval is a lengthy and expensive process, split into several steps.

  1. Pre-clinical research: manufacturer develops and screens molecules for biologic activity, and conducts in vitro and animal testing

  2. Manufacturer applies for FDA approval of an IND (investigational new drug). FDA approval of IND is required in order for human testing to begin.

  3. Clinical trials: during 3 phases of human testing, the manufacturer determines the safety and efficacy of the drug.

  4. Manufacturere applies for FDA approval of an NDA (new drug application). No drug may be marketed in the US without an NDA. The reason the FDA requires this is to ensure the safety and efficacy of the US drug market. The FDA may reject the NDA if it determines the drug is not safe or effective.

  5. Once FDA approves the NDA, the manufacturer conducts Phase 4 trials. The manufacturer collects and reports long term safety data to the FDA, since a lot of adverse events do not show up until after several years in humans.

The whole process may take at least 10 years and is very expensive. Also, I've heard that for every drug that makes it to market, at least 1000-10,000 drugs do not make it through the testing process. hope this helps
