Those favorable to the use of pharmaceutical drugs as an alternative to
natural medicine are asked to provide the evidence that FDA-approved
drugs have been adequately tested for efficacy and safety. Please
provide a set of risk-adjusted outcomes for the following drugs. You
should state the number of deaths per 1000 (or fraction thereof)
associated with each drug, and whether any controlled studies exist to
show that the drug in question saves more lives than it takes (or, if
the drug is not marketed as a "cure" for a life threatening disease, as
is typically the case, the justification for its use in management of
symptoms relative to such mortality and/or debility risk.) There are 35
