Beschreibung

'James Le Fanu is our most incisive medical journalist, and in his excellent new book he turns his attention to the dangerous and expensive phenomenon of over-prescribing . . . Too Many Pills is above praise for its clarity, its elegance of argumentation, its humanity and its uncommon common sense' Literary Review

The number of prescriptions issued by family doctors has soared threefold in just fifteen years with millions now committed to taking a cocktail of half a dozen (or more) different tablets. In Too Many Pills, doctor and writer James Le Fanu examines how this progressive medicalisation of people's lives now poses a major threat to their health and wellbeing.

His review of the relevant evidence for the efficacy, or otherwise, of commonly prescribed drugs should allow us to ask much more searching questions about the benefits and risks of the medicines we are taking.

'Le Fanu meticulously dissects the science, spin and unethical practices' The Times

'Le Fanu writes with great clarity. He makes complex synthesised data available and clear to the non-specialist, without ever dumbing down' Telegraph
