The Food and Drug Administration has made a plan to release a list of drugs which are under a safety investigation. Every three months the FDA will post the list on which there will be drug companies, physicians and patients that brought drug and medication complaints to the agency.

The FDA won’t describe how serious the complaint lists will be, but they will post the adverse events of the drugs. The agency will look again at the safety of the drug, but that won’t mean the drug is unsafe. Even if the method may alarm other patients, the FDA was asked to do so because of the federal law released last year.

482,154 such reports were received last year by the Adverse Event Reporting System of the FDA. Many of the drugs enlisted by various patients were false alarm that had nothing to do with the adverse effects of the medication.

Paul Seligman of the agency's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research said that "the risk is that people will read more into this than what it is, which is a statement that an evaluation is underway." Seligman also added that he hoped the patients won’t stop take a drug just because it’s on the list.

Before the FDA approves or rejects a drug, it takes a long process through which they verify it and get to a conclusion. Still, there has been little side effect of a drug discovered by FDA tests. Some medication needs a big amount of time for people to take it as to observe the side effects.
