"Already approved by regulators in the US "

Imagine Tylenol is found to cure a disease.

Tylenol is already approved, with known conditions under which it is safe and not safe.

Therefore, it is easier and safer to test a new use for Tylenol than starting from scratch testing a previously unknown drug.

Due to an unforseen supply issue, Tylenol is now $1000 a bottle.
