Public Citizen's Health Research Group, directed by Sidney Wolfe, M.D., has created a website called worstpills.org to highlight the 181 drugs - and counting - it currently believes are unsafe.
The site has an excellent search engine which searches by drug name, family of drugs, disease or condition, drug-induced disease or condition, and more.
If you're really troubled by something, it's probably worth the $15 annual subscription fee for unlimited full access.
The site also carries analyses of drug pricing, advertising, and other drug-related issues.
I guarantee you that every U.S. reporter on health-related issues subscribes to this site.
Public Citizen has been consistently ahead of the curve and correct far more often than not in its alerts and "heads-up" notices over the more than 30 years of its existence.
On many occasions, it's taken years for the FDA to come to the same conclusions as Wolfe and his colleagues.
