Well one warning is what happened with AIDS drugs like AZT in the early stages of the epidemic. They got approved without randomized trials and the result was confusion for years about dosing and effectiveness.

There's something to be said for a two-step process separating safety and efficacy. But you do have to worry about the many hundreds or thousands of various snake-oils that would likely creep into the system.
