You are being bombarded by ads on TV to try new drugs on a daily basis. Direct to consumer advertising by drug companies is working. People see an ad for pain relief, they're in pain, so they go to their doctor and request the drug. Vioxx was an example of this. What was the result of that new drug to the trusting public... In August 2004, Dr. David J. Graham, a clinical physician working in the FDA Drug Center’s Office of Drug Safety, published a report suggesting that the estimated 93 million prescriptions written for Vioxx may have contributed to 27,785 heart attacks and deaths between 1999 and 2003. A year later, Graham told the Senate Finance Committee that his agency's earlier projection that Vioxx may have caused roughly 28,000 heart attacks or sudden cardiac deaths was "an extremely conservative estimate." Graham restated that the number of deaths alone may have been as many as 55,000.
How safe are new drugs? How well are they tested? How does your doctor get informed of these new drug?
Take a few moments and watch just a portion of a new documentary called A Prescription for Disaster, By Gary Null, PHD. If you want to watch the whole 90 minutes, reply back and I will send them to you.
