What was the amendment that baned ephendra and what was the amendment that repealed the ban?

Question

ephedra i mean.

Answer 1

Yes, the FDA band has been lifted:
A Utah based company filed a lawsuit against the FDA and got the ban lifted in April 2005. The principle of the decision is that there are more deaths caused by prescription drug use, especially Viox, the FDA has found only 5 deaths caused by ephedria, so the ban was removed.

I don't know the exact FDA regulation number, but no law or amendment was ever passed.

According to About.com: http://altmedicine.about.com/b/a/163479.htm
"Although some media quote the number of deaths due to ephedra at 155, an FDA-commissioned report in 2003 stated in its final ruling that five deaths could be attributed directly to ephedra.

To put this number in perspective, about 12 to 17 million people consumed ephedra in 1999, reports the American Herbal Products Association. The Nutrition Business Journal estimated that sales of ephedra in 2002 were $1.25 billion.

The ban was challenged by Utah-based Nutraceutical Corporation. They make an ephedra product with less than 10 mg of ephedra. The judge ruled, in accordance with the DSHEA, the FDA could not place the burden to prove safety on dietary supplement manufacturers as it does for drug and device makers."

Answer 2

They did not pass an AMENDMENT regarding ephedra. They may have passed a bill or the FDA may have retracted its approval, but no one amended the constitution regarding the sale of a drug.

I also do not think it was repealed, since this drug has been known to cause heart attacks, as far as I know, any pharmacy I go to won't sell it. Which is fine by me!

Answer 3

I don't think it was an ammendment as is was a Food and Drug Administration order -

And I don't think the FDA has removed the ban for ephedra.
