As someone who has rarely ever taken a prescription medication, I was very pleased to see the amount of information available to me. I would never take a drug based only on the recommendation of a doctor. The company who produced the drug had all of their research available to me. I would never put a drug or supplement into my system without fully looking into it. If there isn't much information available, forget about it. Clearly that would be excluding drugs in the case of dire circumstances like being in a cancer research group.
