Description
Too Many Pills: How Too Much Medicine Is Endangering Our Health and What We Can Do About It
Concerns over the growing number of prescriptions issued by family doctors have led to a significant increase in the number of people taking multiple medications. This has resulted in a hidden epidemic of drug-induced illness, with many experiencing debilitating side effects such as muscular aches and pains, lethargy, and impaired memory.
Dr James Le Fanu examines the paradoxical consequences of too much medicine, highlighting the need for the public to take a more active role in their healthcare. Drawing on his own medical column, he reviews the evidence for the efficacy of commonly prescribed drugs and encourages readers to ask searching questions about the benefits and risks of the medicines they are taking.
