About

At Prescription Drug Problems we believe patients have a right to be fully informed about the risks which can be connected with the drugs they are being prescribed.  Seeing or hearing an advertisement is not the same thing as informed consent.  And unfortunately drug company ads pervade all parts of our information system and they information given to medical professionals.  

Doctors don't always take the time to fully educate the patient on the possible downside of the drugs they are prescribing.  But it is the patient who ultimately needs to make the decision, "Is the Benefit Worth the Risk?"

Our materials related to prescription drug problems so far include:

iPhone App - DrugAlert
