Paula,

FDA wants to take DHEA off of over the counter

That's an interesting angle I hadn't thought of. Certainly patients currently taking the drug would be safer than with their present OTC version of unknown potency and composition.

OTOH, the FDA scientists might be reluctant to give their stamp of approval to a drug of uncertain efficacy. This would be a perfect case for an intermediate label - "safety OK, efficacy uncertain." Kind of like the Scottish criminal justice system, which adds "unproven" as a third possible verdict. (Really "Guilty, but the witnesses were too drunk to be reliable." <g>)
