When you consider prescription drugs for a medical condition, you will generally hear all about the benefits of these medications from your doctor or from advertisements. However, how accurate are those advertisements and recommendations? Do they describe the negative side effects that some people experience? Do they point out how many people are injured or killed each year when taking medications that have not been adequately tested or have not been transparently labeled with all possible side effects?
