FDA Seeks Power to Dictate Drug Warnings
The Food and Drug Administration asked Congress to give it more powers to dictate the warnings on drug labels, highlighting what critics call a weakness built into the US system for keeping drugs safe. As a practical matter, the FDA has strong authority to dictate labeling language before a drug is approved. In such a case, if a drug maker does not accept the FDA's warnings, the agency could drag out approval or reject the drug. But the company is in a much stronger position after it wins market approval.

A comparison of the specifically measured chemical constituents of the 85-year-old plant sample with those of a recently-collected sample showed similar profiles, confirming the stability of the older sample, despite its curation over the years under a variety of conditions.
