Lately there has been a huge increase in the number of prescription drugs withdrawn from the market for safety reasons, this has made many question whether the FDA's accelerated approval process has resulted in unsafe drugs being sold to consumers.

We here at Prescription Desk are in the process of compiling a database of the most dangerous prescription drugs.

When the FDA approves a drug it does not mean that it is "safe and effective"?

When the FDA approves a drug, it means that it has determined that the benefits of the drug will outweigh the risks when it is released into the general population.

During a prescription medications testing, anywhere from 1,000 to 3,000 people will take the drug in the final stage of clinical trials. If a serious side effect occurs in one out of 10,000 people, the manufacturer and the FDA most likely will not find out until it is out on the market and hundreds of thousands, or millions, of people have taken it. Adverse drug reactions account for approximately 150,000 deaths per year in the U.S. alone, making drug reactions the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.

Doctors Are the Third Leading Cause of Death!!!
