Dangerous Medicine Website Reveals Hidden Side Effects of Common Medications

Press release from: Truth Publishing

Tucson, Ariz. — Lack of truthful information about the dangers of prescription drugs led to more than 100,000 people suffering heart attacks, strokes or blood clots from the arthritis drug Vioxx. To prevent needless tragedies such as the Vioxx incident and help consumers become better informed about the adverse side effects of medications, Truth Publishing recently launched the Dangerous Medicine website. This interactive site is an online forum where consumers can post their personal experiences with pharmaceuticals and other medical treatments, raising awareness about serious medical complications. Dangerous Medicine is located at http://www.DangerousMedicine.com

"This site is intended to shed light on issues that drug companies, hospitals and the FDA are failing to address," said Mike Adams, Truth Publishing spokesperson and chief writer. "Many people don't realize that doctors are not required to report dangerous side effects observed in patients. It's a voluntary system, and as a result, problems are underreported by doctors and drug complications receive no publicity until thousands of people are hurt or killed."

Dangerous Medicine facilitates an exchange of health warnings, allowing patients to discover possible complications before drug companies admit problems. At http://www.DangerousMedicine.com visitors find honest stories about complications with painkillers, antidepressants, cholesterol drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, bariatric surgery, heart surgery and dental surgeries among others. Users may also post questions and new forum topics, expanding the breadth of information available on the site.
