Midodrine

The Food and Drug Administration approved Shire Laboratories' drug ProAmatine (midodrine) in 1996 based on early results in treating low blood pressure. But the company has never conducted a mandatory follow-up study to actually prove the long-term benefits of the drug. The FDA has threatened to pull a drug off the market due to missing follow-up data.
