The maker of the only drug approved to reduce the risk of premature labor in the U.S. wants to pull it off the market

he maker of the only drug approved to reduce the risk of premature labor in the U.S. wants to pull it off the market—gradually—years after research raised questions about how well it works.in an orderly fashion after a U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisory panel recommended retracting its approval at a meeting in October. While the medicine had won accelerated approval in 2011, a subsequent study intended to confirm its benefits found it didn’t work better than older drugs.

The situation is adding to the controversy around expedited approvals in the U.S., which allow experimental drugs to be given to patients based on preliminary data that suggests they will have a significant benefit.
