Message-ID: The panellists called for an urgent Europe-wide campaign to reduce the amounts of drugs people are taking. They discussed the need for an inquiry into biased information being issued by Big Pharma on medicines that is harming millions of patients. Between 2009 and 2014, GlaxoSmithKline was charged $13 billion in fines for criminal behaviour which included hiding data on the side-effects of the drugs and manipulating results. According to Dr Malhotra, poor quality research, influenced by vested interests, has resulted in an epidemic of misinformed doctors and misinformed patients leading to poor clinical outcome. Dr Malhotra further blames an ?epidemic of misinformation? over dietary advice which he believes has driven the consumption of refined carbohydrates and added sugars. Sir Richard Thompson has argued against the use of statins, the cholesterol-lowering drug, which are only effective in people who already have heart disease; yet, millions of people who are not at risk take them. According to a 2014 study of Imperial College, beta-blockers have resulted in 800,000 excess patient deaths in Europe over the past eight years. https://www.moneylife.in/article/drug-abuse-campaign-against -unnecessary-medication/53847.html *Mohammad Zakaria Pezeshki, M.D.Associate ProfessorDepartment of Community and Family Medicine,Tabriz Medical School, Golgasht Avenue, Tabriz, Iran,Tel: ++ 98 413 336 46 73Fax: ++ 98 413 336 46 68* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
