Drug Side Effects & Recall Information


Drug Side Effects

Drug companies are spending billions of dollars annually advertising and marketing their products to the American consumer. For the most part, these prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications help people to live longer, better lives by controlling or eliminating disease, infection, illness or by simply improving the person's quality of life to some degree.

Unfortunately, drug side effects account for more then 200,000 deaths per year in the United States alone.

Even more disturbing is the fact that many of these companies are neglecting to adequately warn consumers of the potential side effects until it is too late.

The manufacturers of prescription and over-the-counter medications have a responsibility to consumers to provide products that are safe and effective when used as intended. In addition, these manufacturers need to thoroughly warn consumers when a drug has the potential for side effects.

This is why, if possible, I'll stay away from drugs. I'm a TMJ patient and I don't follow my doctor's orders. He wants me to take some medications for the pains and make me submit myself to dental implants but I don't want to. Thank goodness, I've found some TMJ exercises that can help me get rid of my jaw problems for good without any medications! People who are into drugs for medication should ought to read this informative lens of yours! Thanks for sharing!
