10 PAIRS OF DRUGS THAT CAN INJURE OR KILL YOU America has a drug problem, but it’s not the one you think. We are one of the biggest drug consuming countries in the world-of prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, legal drugs. The fact is there are far too many victims of drug-induced illness each year. Every minute, two people are hospitalized for adverse drug reactions (1,500,000 a year) and there’s a death every five minutes and 15 seconds (100,000 a year). Every three and one quarter minutes, someone suffers drug-induced or drug-worsened memory loss (163,000 a year). Every 16 minutes, an older adult suffers a hip fracture-often fatal-because of falls caused by adverse drug reactions. Every 32 minutes, someone is involved in an injury-causing automobile accident because prescription drugs have impaired their driving ability. The Health Guardian will keep you up to date with the latest drug information to prevent these tragedies from happening to you or your loved ones. Our information comes from the Public Citizen’s Health Research Group, which was founded in 1971 by Ralph Nader and. Sidney M. Wolfe, M.D. This group regularly monitors the FDA and the drug industry to protect us from taking drugs that could harm our health.
