F.D.A.
NitroMed's only product, BiDil, was introduced with much fanfare , after the Food and Drug Administration made it the first drug approved for use by a single racial group. BiDil's approval last year by the F.D.A. came amid criticism that the government was embracing the idea that blacks were somehow biologically different from others, which some said could promote racial stereotyping.
