Description: According to some estimates, the drug-licensed as an add on for hyperlipidaemia and diabetes but also used off -label for obesity-caused between 500 and 2000 deaths during its tumultuous 33 years on the market. Frachon lists three main require ments of the new system: it needs to better separate pharmaceutical lobbyists from drug regulators; it needs to make better use of national insurance plan data; and it needs safeguards against political influence over regulatory decisions. "In spite of the sadness of the story, perhaps it will serve as a turning point, enabling the government to understand the risks that drugs can pose and facilitating a change in the regulatory system for the benefit of all citizens", he concludes.
