Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
"When it comes to drug safety, Big Pharma holds all the power, and it's time for patients to take it back. Tens of millions of patients in North America take prescription
drugs
, but the safety of these
drugs
is often based on medical myths. We are led to believe that if a medication isn't safe, the government would never let it on the market and that doctors would never prescribe a drug that isn't proven effective. Who controls these narratives? And do they always have the best interests of patients in mind? In an in-depth study of the enormous influence the pharmaceutical industry has over our health, drug safety advocate Terence Young
--
the chair of Drug Safety Canada and a former member of Parliament
--
explores how those with the most to gain financially are also those who wield all the power in healthcare --and withhold the knowledge that is critical to the safety of patients. 'Forbidden Knowledge' reveals the truths you need to know about prescription
drugs
and what to do about it. It empowers patients to partner with their doctor to talk openly and plainly about medications to help avoid serious adverse drug reactions. This is your survival guide to Big Pharma."--From publisher.
