Why is it that our federal government database of reported adverse events for drugs is not kept current?
I just did a search here and the Data is only showing for 2007. If a drug is promoted heavily to Canadian physicians , its usage can soar quickly. Just look at the Vioxx case... Now if physicians and patients had timely access to this , would that not be a good thing?

You can access the database below. Check the drugs you currently are taking, compare the number of events from one drug to another.
