So many working physicians protested that the FDA now is prepared to let a panel of med ical experts reconsider the find ings. The research would be un dertaken by the same panel which said in a 1962 report that there is no acceptable evi dence that any antimicrobial agent is of any value in the treatment of the common cold." Changes Regulations On this premise, FDA Com missioner George P. Larrick said the government planned to change its regulations so they would, in effect, delete such drugs from the list of those ac ceptable for certification." Any drug which lacks certifi cation is banned from the mar ket. The special panel, headed by Dr. Harry Dnwling of the Uni versity of Illinois School of Medicine, already has asked for an opportunity to reconsider its report after all comments on the issue have been submitted j to the FDA. Larrick said they would be given the opportunity. In its original report the pan el said in effect that the addi tion of antibiotics to the cold compounds theoretically could cause individual sensitivity lo the wonder drugs or help dis ease germs build up resistance to them. Takes Samp Stand An article and an editorial in Ihe July 27 issue of Ihe journal of the American Medical Asso ciation (AMA1 took essentially the same stand. But that was before the slorm of protest from the physicians who make up the AMA. As spokesman laler said the AMA now plans to file, sometime be fore the Nov. 15 deadline, com ments critical of Ihe proposed ban. The spokesman offered no ex planation for the change of heart. Reaction of the rirugmakers was more consistent. They have not argued that antibiolics are effective acainst colds. But they contend the medical pro fession itself has urged them to market such products as a con venient and cheaper mixture of drugs that are frequently pre scribed for the same ailment.
