摘要
The withdrawal of the selective cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor rofecoxib owing to cardiovascular side effects ignited debate about the need for major changes to current mechanisms for post-marketing surveillance (PMS) of drug safety. Here, we discuss the current mechanisms, whether they are being used appropriately, and consider the need for changes to regulatory systems.
