The first book to examine the politicization of the FDA approval process for reproductive drugs, this study maps the hard-fought battles over the four major drugs currently on the U.S. market.To make her case, Melissa Haussman scrutinizes the history of the FDA and the statutes that have governed it, as well as interactions between the U.S. government, American pharmaceutical companies, and the medical community. The analysis centers on explaining how three reproductive drugs were kept off the U.S. market well after their efficacy had been proven, while the availability of the fourth, Gardasil, has less to do with helping girls than with preserving the financial wellbeing of Merck. Readers will come away understanding how, when it comes to reproductive drugs, women's health concerns have consistently taken a backseat to political agendas and corporate profits.Reproductive rightsUnited StatesBirth controlGovernment policyUnited StatesBirth controlLaw and legislationUnited StatesContraceptivesUnited StatesWomen's rightsUnited StatesElectronic books.Reproductive rightsBirth controlGovernment policyBirth controlLaw and legislationContraceptivesWomen's rights363.9/60973Haussman Melissa1959-865266MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463229103321Reproductive rights and the state1931191UNINA
