Do pharmacy schools tell it's students that prescription drugs are toxins/poisons?

Answer 1

Yes, of course, they tell us that. Many medications can be deadly if taken incorrectly.
Statins work by forcing your body to use the circulating cholesterol in your bloodstream instead of making new cholesterol.
In general, drugs are very safe and have very major side effects.
Millions of people are living due to some kind of medication.
Some decreases in diseases have been linked to certain medications like the statins.

Answer 2

I don't know if they actually tell their students that they ARE toxins/poisons.... but they are. It would make sense if they told the students to treat them as if they were toxic so they would be aware of the fact that you shouldn't give more than is needed.
It only takes a small amount to treat someone, and many of them only take a couple hundred mg to be fatal. The biggest problem with drugs is that they work.... but they work by turning off some normal process in your body, thereby eliminating the symptoms that are causing the complaint, but that's not a healthy way to do it.

If you wanted to take something for lowering Cholesterol (as an example), you could take a drug that will specifically lower your Cholesterol.
On the other hand, you could try one of a few supplements that give nutritional benefits that may help the problem that's causing your Cholesterol to be high. If the increase in Cholesterol is caused by something that the first one doesn't help, it won't help. If you don't know the cause of the problem, it's hard to find the natural supplement that would help it.

...Here's the kicker.... the way that drugs work is that they literally turn off some natural process in your body to reach a desired result. In the same example of Cholesterol, those drugs turn off the part of your body that makes Cholesterol. Now, in theory, that may sound like a good way to do it, but your body NEEDS some level of Cholesterol.... just turning that off creates a lot of problems.
THAT is the reason that drugs have SOOOO many side effects, while supplements only have most side effects from allergic reactions and some medical conditions or drugs that may interact with it (which isn't the supplement itself).

Answer 3

That should be "its", not "it's"...your grasp of grammar & English is almost as poor as your grasp of science & basic medicine. I hope for your sake that you do not develop cancer & find yourself forced to follow the nonsensical advice you have been posting here!

EVERYTHING in the world is a toxin at the right dose, and many of those things are medicine at a different dose. Without any water, you DIE....with the right amount of water you live a normal life...with too much water, you can die from hyponatremia. If you had half a brain you would understand that! Would you like to ban water as a "dangerous toxin"?

Get a clue!

Pharmacy schools teach facts, not populist fear-mongering.

Answer 4

I doubt it otherwise theyd boost their drop out rate if they told them their subject is basically harmful.

im a nursing student and patients are prescribed loads of unnecessary drugs though.. its odd. Does everyone really need laxatives, anticoagulants, morphine, sedatives...all day long?
