#4 ~ If the risk outweighs the benefit for you, then don’t take the drugs. I agree, but I many times had Doctors say to me, "Don't read the possible side effects, those are one in a zillion.' This implies, of course, that Pharma had tested, researched and were granted FDA approval, because the health risks were so negligible. Suggesting it was like a low-dose aspirin tablet, "Take it anyway, it will work wonders."

My cardiologist said beta blockers were so beneficial, he thought they should be added to the water supply. I took them for a few days and had to stop. My blood pressure is always low, and like so many other drugs, a side effect of BB is to lower blood pressure, which is great for most other people.

Always read the label. It’s your life, not theirs.
