The Other “Drug Problem”
A
JAMA article showed that the number of US adults who take prescription drugs increased
from 51% to 59% from 1999 to 2012. The
prevalence of those taking 5 or more drugs almost doubled during the same
timeframe, from 8% to 15%. Large increases
were noted for drugs to treat cholesterol, depression, acid reflux, and muscle
spasms. The effect was irrespective of
age. Please listen carefully to all the
side effects mentioned in the TV advertisements for drugs.
