October Declared "Just Say 'Know' to Prescription Drugs Month"

Extracted from "Coalition of Advocates Launch Just Say ‘Know’ to Prescription Drugs Campaign," on prweb.com. A coalition of 10 organizations, advocates, healthcare professionals, academics and concerned citizens have launched a campaign to get one million people to go to their healthcare providers and ask, "What am I really putting into my body? What are the side effects? What are the alternatives?" The effort is called Just Say "Know" to Prescription Drugs and is driven by increasing evidence that many people are uninformed about the potential side effects of their prescribed medication and are not aware of less-risky alternatives.
