FDA approved medications come with ample consumer warnings, lists of possible side effects, counter indications to use and possible negative interactions with other drugs.

Illegal drugs don’t.

I was trying to make a point. But even though the FDA approves a drug the long term side effects can never be known until they have been used for 5-10 years or more, and that is not addressed in clinical trials.

You also have to wonder why drug companies are pushing to make new beta blockers or other such drugs when there are already numerous options on the market all with excellent results and safety records.
