Public Citizen's Health Research Group

Unread post by Brain food »

Has anyone tried getting this organization, Public Citizen’s Health Research Group, involved in the effort to get the FDA to recognize PSSD? It was started by a hematologist named Dr. Sidney Wolfe and Ralph Nader was also involved in the beginning. Their advocacy has gotten the FDA to ban drugs and not approve others in the first place. It seems like this could be the best organization to bring attention to this issue in the United States. I will try to contact them. See article below:

I just realized that Public Citizen is suing the FDA for failing to respond to a citizen petition about post finasteride syndrome. See quote from article and link to full article below:

“In a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Washington, D.C., federal court, the Post-Finasteride Syndrome Foundation, represented by Public Citizen, said the Food and Drug Administration had unlawfully failed to either grant or deny a citizen petition the group submitted in 2017. Finasteride is the active ingredient in Propecia.“ (by the way, the article is from September 8,2021)
