Guide des 4000 médicaments utiles, inutiles ou dangereux

Bernard Debré and Philippe Even review 4000 medicines currently on the market, identifying which are effective, which are less effective and which are not effective at all. They cast fresh criticisms on the pharmaceutical industry, that most lucrative, most cynical, least ethical of industries. According to Professor Even, all that would be required to solve the problem of deficits in the health service and health insurance industry would be to withdraw dangerous, ineffective and useless medicines from the market. Health is everybody's business: laboratories, doctors and patients, and every one of us should consider what his own contribution to altering this ethical, medical and economic scandal can be. This book is a wake-up call to patients, doctors and politicians, helping them to reconsider their actions in relation to medicines.
