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.
