Online Forum Tackles Little-Known Side Effects of Popular Pharmaceuticals

Press release from: Truth Publishing

Tucson, Ariz. — Truth Publishing is launching an online community forum dedicated to educating consumers about the dangerous side effects of prescription drugs and common medical procedures. Located at http://www.DangerousMedicine.com, the site aims to counterbalance biased information presented in pharmaceutical advertisements by allowing users to post their experiences with popular medications and treatments. On the site, visitors will discover honest, personal stories that illuminate little-known complications of conventional medical practices, and other information not widely available in the mainstream media.

"Most side effects of prescription medicines are written in extremely small print in magazine ads or rapidly listed off during television commercials," said Mike Adams, Truth Publishing spokesperson and chief writer. "As a result, people don't have a thorough understanding of the health risks associated with most drugs. This site provides an education resource where patients can interact with others who have taken a prescribed drug and learn about the true dangers of pharmaceuticals."

Like other Truth Publishing sites, http://www.DangerousMedicine.com provides an alternative resource for consumers concerned about healthcare practices. Current topics include painkillers, antidepressants, cholesterol drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, bariatric surgery, heart surgery, dental surgeries and more. Users may also post new forum topics expanding the breadth of information available on the site.

The site officially launched May 10 with 233 preregistered users. To learn more, please visit http://www.DangerousMedicine.com
