Dr Bio, does the FDA go looking at safety when "the standard elderly patient," (such as my Mother) has 15 different prescriptions, some of which are clearly hazardous alone?
I have 6 or 7 myself.

Aren't these "drugs in combination?"
(I realize this is apples and Kiwi fruit, so don't bother pointing that out. But, you get the idea.)
