Two-thirds of all drugs prescribed for children have never been adequately studied for safety

Pediatricians are forced to engage in risky "trial-and-error" medicine when they give drugs to children because two-thirds of all drugs they routinely prescribe have never been adequately studied on kids, according to a study by Food and Drug Administration researchers to be published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association. What's more, when certain drugs developed for adults were methodically tested in children, researchers found previously unknown safety risks, including higher incidences of death, seizures, and suicidal thoughts, according to new data contained in the study.

This is obviously a major problem, and does not even take into account the unknown effects of mind control, anti-depressant, and other psychotropic drugs that are being prescribed for children.
