After going through your FAQs, all prescription drugs appear harmful to me. Does it mean that we should never take prescription drugs?

It would not be accurate to assume that none of the should ever be used because of their potential harms. They are, after all, deveopled for some pharmacological purpose. Pain medication, for example, is a necessity after surgery and many other medical procedures. Opium and its derivatives have been shown to have medicinal applications. By and large, when a qualified health professional prescribes a medication and the patient for whom it is prescribed uses it as directed, that use does not become abuse. Abuse enters the picture when someone takes too much of a medication or takes it too long or too frequently or takes it when it is not prescribed.
