For any American senior, health and safety is their top priority. That’s why 60 Plus is firmly behind stopping the prevalence of manufactures, doctors, and pharmacies distributing unapproved drugs when an approved drug or its equivalent is available on the market. We are especially concerned because our members — senior citizens — make up a large percentage of those for whom drug prescriptions are written. There are more than 500 unapproved drugs on the market today.  This startling revelation highlights the dangers patients expose themselves to considering such drugs have never been tested for proper dosage, regimen and possible drug-drug interaction with other medications.  One such example is unapproved colchicine which in a video published by the FDA is said to pose potentially deadly side effects. 

60 Plus advocates the removal of unapproved drugs from the market for the safety and welfare of the public who unknowingly put themselves at risk of an adverse reaction.  That is not to say that approved drugs are not without their dangers, however the FDA approval process sets forth the most consistent and conscientious standards. FDA approval demonstrates that the manufacturer is capable of producing a drug that can ensure its identity, purity, strength, and quality is reliable.  Additionally, FDA approval insures that patients and health care professionals are well informed as to the drugs risks and safe usage.  We are committed to providing informational resources to not just senior citizens but every citizen, manufacturer, distributor and consumer about the dangers of using drugs that are not approved by the FDA.  Manufacturers and distributors who supply unapproved drugs place patients in unconscionable danger.

We invite you to explore our site and join the effort to stop the distribution of these dangerous drugs.
