Rationale: Federal regulations prohibit the use of drugs that would be detrimental to consumers. The effectiveness or lack of effectiveness of a drug does help physicians to pinpoint the most correct drug to use in treating a condition but is not something that causes the drug to be prohibited from use. The cost of a drug is based on its formulation, strength, depth of research and development, fair market value, and many other concerns, but the federal government does not prohibit the use of a drug just because of its cost.
