Hi Christine,
All medical drugs should be "on hold" until they have been proven safe and effective...this has not and will not be done because the drug companies are allowed to do their own research to prove the safety of their own drugs and it takes years for many "side effects" to show up.
All medical drugs have potential adverse effects which should really be just called "effects" and not "side effects" because they are the direct effects of taking the drug.
Meds only get taken off the market when enough people die or get ill from taking them...this usually takes years to show up and even longer for the authorities to do the research they should have done in the first place to prove it.
In my opinion all medical drugs are dangerous to your health and should only be used as a last resort after all the natural alternatives have failed.
Read How to Eat,Move and Be Healthy by Paul Chek...follow his advice and you will become so healthy you will never need medical drugs.
Hope this helps
