Guess what dangerous detail drug sales reps often “forget” to mention to doctors

Drug sales representatives often “forget” to tell doctors about one little detail…

Drug side effects.

Yeah. Oops!

According to a new survey, sales reps left out details about a drug’s serious side effects about TWO-THIRDS of the time. And that included drugs with black box warnings.

One of the articles about this survey suggested that patients “may need to adopt a buyer beware attitude” about any prescription.

MAY need? Please! The drug industry is the very definition of “buyer beware.”
