Up to 200,000 patients die every year from adverse drug reactions, according to reports from the Journal of the American Medical Association and the Institute of Medicine. Adverse drug reactions are considered to be the 4th leading cause of death in America, killing more people than pulmonary disease, diabetes, AIDS, pneumonia and automobile deaths.
Why are so many dangerous or defective drugs released in the marketplace?
The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for testing and approving every drug made available in the USA. The lack of rigorous and thorough testing results in more defective drugs. Drug manufacturers presure the FDA for quicker approvals and a lax testing process, which results in thousands of deaths per year.
