FDA Warning - GermBullet Is An Unapproved Flu Remedy

FDA warns company over unapproved flu remedy - US News and World Report:

"The Boca Raton, Fla.-based company advertises the product as a "proprietary blend of 11 organic botanicals." The company's website claims that "an FDA recognized virology lab" tested the formula and "confirmed that it has the potential capability to kill cold and flu viruses."

But FDA regulators say the mixture has never been reviewed as safe and effective and the company is violating drug safety regulations. All new drugs marketed in the U.S. must be submitted for approval to the FDA before they can be sold to consumers. The GermBullet is sold online through retailers like CVS.com and at a handful of small pharmacies and natural food stores in Florida."
