Prescription Drugs and the Drug Industry
(1/12/17)- We at therubins received the following email from Emma Larson of Community Outreach, and took the opportunity to view the site that she wrote about. The site deals with the possible negative side effects that can occur from taking different medications. We found the site to be easy to navigate and extremely informative. We want to thank Emma for having taken the time to email us so that we in turn have posted it to this site.

Rx Dangers
In 2013, the Mayo Clinic found that nearly 70 percent of Americans
take at least one prescription drug each month. The majority of medications are
safe for consumption, but we believe in educating the public about thousands of
prescription and over-the-counter medications, many of which have the potential
to cause serious side effects. Our easy to navigate online database is
constantly being updated with drug recall news, and provides comprehensive,
unbiased information about serious side effects, complications, and
interactions of commonly prescribed drugs.
RxDangers.com aims to be your trusted resource, educating the
public about all defective medical devices and dangerous medications that are
available on the market today. For more information please visit www.rxdangers.com.
Please let me know if this is something that you can help us with!
Thanks again,
Emma”
(1/16/12)- According to a report from the Department of Health and Human Services, the number of prescriptions rose just 1.2% in 2010, and total retail spending on prescription drugs also grew 1.2%, to $259 billion, the slowest rate of growth in 51 years.
A recent edition of the journal Health Affairs published the results of the study.
As a result of the recession and cutbacks by the drug companies, they have slashed 33,000 sales jobs in the U.S. from its peak five years ago, when the industry employed 105,000 sales representatives.
