Many times they will conduct limited or biased testing, and engage in other unethical business practices in order to expedite getting a product to market. Even when a drug has FDA approval, it is no guarantee that the drug is safe to use. Many side effects of a drug don't become known until after it has been marketed and sold for a lengthy period of time. This includes Zoloft, and similar types of antidepressants.
