Medical Forum / General / Pharmacy / October 2004circa 100,000 US deaths/year drug-drug interactions
And that doesn't include single pharmaceutical caused deaths (like from Vioxx.) It seems that the med/pharm industry hasn't much of a clue about the dangers of its products. I get a mental picture of a demolition derby. The dox and the pharmies say, "let's give the patient these two (or three or nine) drugs together and see if they crash into each other!" "Oops, they did? OK, better add another $11,000 to the bill. 'Corpse costs', you see." > It seems that the med/pharm industry hasn't > much of a clue about the dangers of its products. really What a moron you are. How many Drug orders were made last year, sh.t for brains.

What percentage of those people died as a result of taking the drugs prescribed? The floor is open to you, Mr "Professional." >How many people in the US were written prescriptions? > >What percentage of those people died as >a result of taking the drugs prescribed? ............................................................................................................ Most likely about 0.0003 percent.... The number who died because they DID NOT take their prescribed medications, or took them incorrectly , is a hell of a lot more.

A hard number! I knew someone would step up. Ok, circa 100,000 US deaths yearly from drug-drug interactions. Bob says that this is 0.0003 percent of the number of people written prescriptions yearly in the US. Now, 100,000 is 0.0003 percent of what number? [punching calculator...don't forget to divide by 100] Bob says: approximately 3.3x10 exp 10 people prescribed to in the US per year. That's 33 billion or about 6 times the earths' population. Try again Bob! > Bob says: approximately 3.3x10 exp 10 people prescribed to in the > US per year. Your calculator works, but your brain doesn't.

Dog you oughta be glad you didn't cross post or you woulda been in a heap of trouble with Ruben the anti-Cross Post Nazi.
