It’s sooo important to be careful with new medications! The classic example I use is the thalidomide disaster of the 50s. If you aren’t familiar, look it up, it was a lesson that we tragically had to learn through horror and death and is one of many reasons why it takes so long for new medications to be cleated for public use today. It can be really frustrating, but the red tape keeps us safe from being used as guinea pigs for untested drugs.
