Glaxo has a drug in clinical trials that will apparently do the same thing.

Summary of the drug and related proposed legislation. I imagine that the brouhaha in Texas is a factor in the bills in other states being withdrawn.
That WSJ report SEC Chick found suggested there may not have been adequate testing on the pre-teen group they're focusing on here - have you seen anything on that?

For me, FDA approval is a minimum threshold; I don't want to ingest something, or have my kid ingest something, unless it meets standards well beyond the FDA's (unless, of course, it's alot of fun).
