CBS Eye On America – Pharmaceuticals & Side Effects

If you missed the Monday evening CBS broadcast regarding Pharmaceuticals and their side effects, you can still watch it on the web.

From the airing…
“Sometimes pharmaceutical companies will list every adverse event that occurs in order to make the major adverse event seem of less importance in the overall picture.” – Dr. Donald Marks, FDA consultant

Visit the CBS website to read the article, watch the broadcast, and learn more about topics such as the “black box.”

A black box is a special warning label for prescription drugs – the strongest possible.

From the text…
“If the pharmaceutical company believes that black box will be the kiss of death for a product then they will argue with the FDA. They’ll apply the pressure of members of Congress; they’ll use the pressure of leaders of industry, popular figures – to not have a black box warning.”

“And it’s not just the dreaded black box – every single word on a drug’s label or in ads is open to bargaining and debate.”
