When drug studies are done some unexpected findings emerge. If these results can show promise and expand drug use they should be persued as the cost will likely be less than developing a whole new drug.
It is likely that with all the bad press the FDA will require many more safety studies prior to allowing a drug on the market. Many nmay not make it because it will be too prohibitive to do. There is NO magic safe pill however.
