Side effects. People generally don't like to take drugs to prevent things if the chances of acquiring the illness is minimal. For example, if we had an approved vaccine for Malaria, we wouldn't just give it to everybody in the USA, and even if we did, many would not take it.
- Waterluvian 5y agoI had a physician explain that you need to treat the whole person (ie. address symptoms, serious issues, anything demonstrably problematic) because otherwise almost every person could be diagnosed with something and prescribed medications for. If you look for physiological abnormalities, you’ll find some. It’s why he said doctors discourage loading up on useless tests for no reason. And then you risk creating more side effects in an otherwise healthy, complaint-free person. A for-profit healthcare system wants this. Which is probably why the States medicates and prescribes so much more compared to other regions.
