Side effects are life effects.
Every medicine has side effects. Side effects are personal and can happen to you and your loved ones. Side effects are the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S.
- More than 40% of us have a chronic disease or illness
- More than half of us take prescription drugs, and we take an average of four regular medications or supplements
- Side effects are the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S.
