Most medications don't work effectively for a lot people.

The dose makes the poison.

Every day you use dozens of products that have strong chemicals in them, but remember, the only difference between poison and medicine is dosage.

Medicines are unusual commodities. Important drugs can save the lives and protect the health of millions. Their consumption can bring huge benefits, by helping patients to avoid infection and preventing serious damage to the economies of families, nations and even humanity at large.

Medicine's good for some people. Not for me.

For all of life's discontents, according to the pharmaceutical industry, there is a drug and you should take it. Then for the side effects of that drug, then there's another drug, and so on. So we're all taking more drugs, and more expensive drugs.

About half of all people don't take medications like they're supposed to.

There's a certain libertarian right-wing view that there should be no FDA, that people can decide for themselves whether medicines are safe and effective. That's nonsense. Most people don't have the expertise or the resources to mount a proper study to find out whether a treatment is safe or effective.

I find the medicine worse than the malady.

I don't like to take a lot of stuff since I'm really sensitive to medications.
