It is said that when the pharmaceutical industry realized there was money to be made in erectile dysfunction, it was only a matter of time before a related disorder for women was "discovered." There is a lot of truth to this -- pharmaceutical companies know that women often adopt new treatments and medications more quickly than men do.
You should know about claims of efficacy in products that do not require a doctor’s prescription a few things. First, you can set aside your consumer paranoia about grand pharmaceutical company conspiracies. Major pharmaceutical companies do not market these herbal products.
You should know a little about the complicated and demanding process that drugs (as opposed to dietary supplements) must go through to be approved.
The Food and Drug Administration hold any major pharmaceutical company doing business in the U.S. to standards.
Pharmaceuticals take many years of research to develop, and the FDA does not approve new drugs until there have been several phases of study -- first on safety, then on efficacy, with double-blind placebo-controlled results, which means that participants do not know if they are taking the drug or a sugar pill.
The resultant documentation, which pharmaceutical companies are required to provide to the FDA at their expense, often fills hundreds or even thousands of file boxes. The FDA only considers approving a drug after research establishing its safety and efficacy has been published in major peer-reviewed medical journals. This means that not only has the extremely conservative editorial board of a publication approved the article, but also it has been sent out to a small group of physicians with specific expertise in the disorder the drug is intended to treat.
Pharmaceutical companies fund huge amounts of clinical research for drugs they own the patents. Research physicians often receive significant compensation by being on "advisory boards" for those companies -- under exceedingly strict guidelines by the FDA, but still. Original research on a given disease or disorder is frequently published by major medical journals in pharmaceutical company sponsored "journal supplements" which, while peer reviewed, are still paid for by the company sponsoring research on a given drug being developed to treat that disorder.
Researchers whose work has been sponsored by any pharmaceutical company are usually required to disclose that fact in a sidebar accompanying articles in clinical journals. Once published, peer-reviewed articles are subject to scrutiny and debate in the medical community.
Pharmaceutical companies write off millions of dollars in losses all the time on drugs that do not get results when they go to clinical trials. Your prescription drugs are so expensive because pharmaceutical companies are owned by money-hungry zillionaires. It is because those companies spend millions on research into new drugs, and it is a crapshoot whether any one of those drugs will ever make it to market.
The biggest problem of all comes when you start considering products that are not approved for both safety and efficacy by the FDA -- meaning dietary supplements.
This is what you should know: If these products were "proven" to do anything by the standards that the FDA uses to approve drugs for treatment of disorders, they would not be marketing their drugs on the internet under a trade name you have never heard of. You may have received spam or seen online ads that offer prescriptions by mail for Viagra.
