Congress requires "sound science"
from FDA on ephedra proposal
|
|
|
A May 13 addition
to the House budget bill requires FDA to employ "sound science" and a
rational analysis of adverse events, before proceeding with ephedra rulemaking.
The amendment was offered by Rep. Sam Farr (D-CA). The FDA issued its
proposed rule to limit per-serving and per-day intake of ephedrine alkaloids
for supplements in June, 1997. |
