I’ve been failing at finding a concrete reason for some medications having an increased risk of death. Generally I see this for medications for dementia patients. But how does it increase a risk of death?
In: Biology
The side effects listed for any given drug include all REPORTED side effects during a drug trial. That means if during a drug trial, someone dies, they consider death to be a side effect. They do not do anything to confirm that the drug caused the death.
You can imagine that when you are testing a drug for people on death’s door like those with dementia, the odds of someone dying during the trial are quite high.
Medication is administered to improve the quality of life and in the process the quantity of life is diminished.
