(theday.com): Information from regulators about the safety and effectiveness of more than a third of America's top-selling drugs is not readily accessible to doctors or the general public, according to a report released Friday by the nonpartisan Sunlight Foundation. In all, basic information about nine out of the top 25 most-prescribed medications was not available from the FDA online. The foundation pointed out that FDA documents are posted in a nonsearchable format, making it difficult for researchers or the public to find information readily. What's more, large sections of these documents are redacted, mostly to protect proprietary information, but the foundation said there is no way to determine why such details are removed.
