Over 200,000 deaths
Adverse Drug Side Effects, including side effects and interactions, account for over 200,000 deaths each year in America alone, according to The Alliance for Aging Research's report to Congress in April 2001. These are from legally prescribed pharmaceutical drugs. Of these, 150,000 deaths are deemed to be preventable. SURVEYOR Health helps consumers and professionals better identify, understand and manage these deadly effects.
Over 2.5 million life threatening events
Side Effects cause two and a half million Americans and their families to face unnecessary life and death situations every year.
