Pharmaceutical companies sometimes even release medications without knowing why they work.

Kind of like Isotretinoin, which says in the prescriber's pamphlet, "The exact mechanism of action of isotretinoin is not currently understood."

Made me feel really great to be taking something that is "not currently understood," though approved as safe by the FDA.
