Does the FDA drop the ball on drug warning labels?

Drug companies write their own drug labels and submit the results of their clinical studies to the FDA. It’s then up to the FDA to review it and ensure that the most critical information makes it on to the drug label. But sometimes facts about side effects and effectiveness are left out and as a result clinicians aren't always getting the prescribing information they need. Is it a result of incomplete or badly organized information submitted by the drug companies or is the FDA's review process to blame?

Tender Greens
Tender Greens is like your favorite rock band where you want to keep it a secret but also hope for tremendous success. And successful it is. Healthy and tasty salads and veggies, lean cuts of steak, chicken and tuna all served up in a 'fast food' style and price tag - but in a much better environment and quality. The flatiron angus steak with Yukon Gold potatoes top out my list. I also love to get the line caught ahi tuna with a baby spinach and goat cheese salad - quite tasty when I'm shooting for lighter fare. Makes for a nice and not-too-expensive dinner, and an excellent lunch as well.
