Thank you.
From an analysis in the Canadian Medical Association Journal written by five leading experts on prescription drug safety, I have a list of drugs that have been withdrawn from the Canadian market for safety reasons. That means they were killing or injuring patients, and this is just since 2004: Vioxx was approved in 1999 and taken off the market in 2005; Bextra approved in 2002 and taken off the market in 2005; Mellarill approved in 1959 and taken off the market in 2005; Climacteron, 2005; Tequin, 2006; Zelnorm, 2007; Permax, 2007; Prexige, 2007; Raptiva, 2009; Meridia, 2010; Darvon, 2010; Thelin, 2010; Calcitonin, a nasal spray, 2013; and MEP, a Meprobamate-containing medicine, 2013.
This is just since 2004. Since 1997, I think the total I've always used and the best total I can find is that 27 drugs have been taken off the market for killing and injuring patients.
