Stanford School of Medicine: a prescription drug has an avg of 398 side effects

This Is Almost Too Crazy To Think About. “The side effects of the average prescription drug according to the University of Stanford School of Medicine,— Each one prescription drug has an average of 398 side effects”

“That seems like a lot to me. So you are on 2 drugs, that study goes on to tell us that if you're on more than one drug at a time, if you're on multiple drugs, we don't really know how many side effects there are.”

“I always like to say it's like Buzz Lightyear to infinity and beyond. We don't know. Because of the combination. Yeah.

Because we don't know we don't study all those combinations. Right.”
