How heaps side effects do pharmaceutical drugs enjoy on average?
I'm looking for an estimation and not necessarily an exact amount, although an exact amount would be a plus
Answers:
I agree with the above, no one is going to be able to answer this interview unless they are a statistician who has actually taken the time to catalog all drug compounds and their timetabled side effects and then find the mean number. There may be someone out there who have done this, but good luck finding them, because chances are they are an extreme introvert! You also have to remember that here are not just many pharmaceutical drugs, but OTC drugs as well. Even anti-bacterial foot soap and hand sanitizing gel are regulated by the FDA as OTC drugs!
You could always return with a copy of the DIH and do it yourself, but again, it may not include all of the OTC drugs. Source(s): Toxicologist
Impossible to answer. There are thousands of drugs, some of which only have a short enumerate of side effects, while others have lists half a page long. Source(s): I'm a physician.
