As a herbal observation, it seems like such a scam that medical pamphlets will list possible side-effects, but not frequencies.
Knowing that one person in one thousand saw some issue is very different from 20% of people. Especially as almost every medication I've ever seen advertised has a list two pages long of possible side effects.
How is a person supposed to make an informed judgment?
- sofixa 5y agoI don't know if it's the law here in France or just nice manufacturers, but I've seen side effects broken down by occurence rate ( 1 in 100,000: X, Y, Z; 1 in 1,000,000: A, B, C, etc.) multiple times.
- s1artibartfast 5y agoAll US drugs have to include the rate of side effects in their clinical trials. Google "Product name prescribing information"
- watwut 5y agoThe frequencies are there, they were in all pamphlets I read. It is a law.
- cwkoss 5y ago> herbal observation What does this mean?
- foxyv 5y agoAutocorrected from honest or personal I believe.
- BoiledCabbage 5y agoYup, and I didn't catch it in time.
