Abstract:Reviews the book Before you take that pill by J. Douglas Bremner (2008). Before You Take That Pill critically examines a multitude of commonly prescribed medicines and alternative medicines (including vitamins and herbs) within the analytic framework of data gleaned from research studies. To the reader’s likely great edification, Bremner displays a fierce determination to unearth data embedded in the research literature germane to making scientifically valid conclusions and recommendations about potentially harmful effects of medicines. But the cascade of information flowing profusely from the book, focusing especially on the harmful effects of drugs, is a boon to the reader with any drug exposure. The book’s scientific rigor may also strongly attract the keen interest of readers with professional backgrounds tethered to medicines, including medical clinicians, scientists, and ethicists; public health professionals; health policy makers; and members of the pharmaceutical industry.
