the FDA will approve thalidomide
November 1997
The FDA will approve thalidomide...the notorious drug that caused thousands of severe birth defects years ago in Europe.
This is ironic. The FDA has been proud of the fact that it DIDN'T approve thalidomide in the early 1960s...and therefore, prevented a similar disaster here.
Thalidomide was first marketed as an OTC sedative...now researchers have discovered that it's a powerful immune suppressant.
