    There is a list of drugs on FDA website that have been recalled to protect public health from defective or potential harmful product. Some on the products included on the list are: Nasal Products, Baby oral gels, Homeopathic medicines, hydrochlorothiazide tablets, ibuprofen, sinus relief, compounded drugs and piperacillin and tazobactam injections. If you go through the list you realize that whenever a drug is found to be potentially harmful or defective, it is removed from the market. FDA continuously monitors drugs even when they are in the market for unexpected problems. Some health risks are not recognized during research and clinical trials and they appear after the product is in the market. FDA recalls the drugs when number of reports are seen related to the product from pubic. FDA can’t be held responsible for the health hazard caused by the drug.
