I would only ask, "greater than acceptable" to whom? Everyone has their own levels of risk they are willing to take as a trade-off for treating debilitating arthritic pain, for instance. The risks should be published honestly of course, but the decision on whether the risks are greater than acceptible or not should be made by each patient for themselves.

wow, this is insane, do you realize what a system like this would look like?

Yes, but do you? Because it sounds like you haven't put much thought into the issue.
The FDA is the epitome of everything wrong with the relationship between citizen and government here in America.
Your further comments reveal to me that you are an inveterate paternalist. That's really a shame. God forbig someone see an ad for a drug. What is the world coming to?
