It's important that we all agree that any product that can have a therapeutic effect can have a therapeutic side effect.
You are completely right. There is not a single drug that we would prescribe that has a traditional DIN, or drug identification number, that doesn't have a side effect profile.
We don't need to think about drugs as good or bad; we need to understand drugs as being right for the right patient at the right time for the right indication in the right dose. With that frame of mind, understanding that there can always be a therapeutic side effect if there's going to be a therapeutic effect, it's important that we have equipoise in our regulatory oversight over the products we recommend.
Recall powers are incredibly important. While extremely rare events are extremely rare, they are incredibly important when that adverse event affects someone you love.
