Research They Hide
Do pharmaceutical companies have the ability to control which studies are published about their drugs? Can studies showing bad results be hidden? Are doctor's being misled about the benefits of some drugs?
Modern medicine has worked many wonders and helped millions, perhaps billions, of people worldwide.
Due to the profitability of drug manufacturing, pharmaceutical companies are able to afford expensive, in-depth research to develop new medications that save people from devastating and life-threatening health problems.
When drug makers seek to create new medicines, they fund extensive research and testing before releasing the medications on the market.
Doctors then rely on this research to decide for themselves whether the drug is suitable for their patients. As a patient, you are then given information to decide whether you are comfortable with the potential side effects.
But there is a problem.
