Executive Summary
The US FDA opened a new website on 15 June that provides the public updated information on drug safety with a major difference: unlike other FDA safety notification systems, this one spotlights not only reasons for caution, but also the far more frequent instances when a new drug has been found to have no unexpected safety concerns. The site is designed to be accessed by the general public as well as healthcare professionals.
