At least half of all Americans are prescribed drugs and medications tend to increase with age. One in six Americans take three or more prescription medications. While prescriptions have benefits and risks, some of the serious risks may not be provided to you or the manufacturers sometimes market their drugs for uses that were not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
FDA - Food and Drug Administration
The FDA is an agency of the US Department of Health and Human Services. The FDA regulates food, dietary supplements, drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, biologics and blood products. In regards to drugs, the FDA can either approve or reject drugs that manufacturers market and must screen for dangerous side effects of drugs. The FDA is also responsible for monitoring drug safety. Over the last 10 years, there have been numerous lawsuits against drug manufacturers despite the FDA process. With the increase in the use of prescription drugs and the dangerous risks they could cause you, it is important you know your rights.
