Every year it creates and updates the list and indicates which drugs are used “they are to be avoided because they are judged to be more risky than useful to people“.
The premise already raises a bit of concern. But then again it is better for someone to take care of correctly informing people, so that they can choose the most suitable therapy together with the attending physician. Unfortunately, even if science has made great strides, there are still no definitive, miraculous or good-for-all cures.

The information disclosed by the medical journal To prescribe they are though considered reliable. The reality is independentit is self-subsidizing and therefore has no conflicts of interest economical note. The staff working in this reality is highly specialized and uses innovative and reliable methods. So let’s go find out what are the drugs that perhaps it is really better not to take.
