The human body is an extremely complex system. Simulating it completely accuracy would require a computer many orders of magnitude more powerful than anything currently existing, so the only way to know if a treatment doesn't produce any unexpected side effect is years of empirical testing, because such things can take years to manifest. Fundamentally the problem space contains inescapable complexity; it's not the fault of pharma firms.
Not just that, even if we had the power to do so, we don't know anywhere near 100% of our bodies.
