Computers are limited by what information you give them(garbage in garbage out). Current technology doesn't have all the answers or information. Even drugs that have gone through rigorous testing have been recalled for various reasons. Examples: Rezulin(liver failure-generally incompatible with life) and Redux(heart complications). All the pharmaceuticals continue to compile information regarding drug side effects and interactions(drug safety departments) while on the market. Interestingly enough, many drugs that "hit" the US market have been used for years in Europe and/or Asia. While the US definitely pays more for medications(some would say we subsidize the world), we get what we pay for. Sorry, but, its going into a rabbit's eye before it goes into yours or mine. Rx
