Public Citizen Mourns the Passing of Dr. Sidney Wolfe

[E-drug also remembers Dr Sidney Wolfe as E-drugger: he contributed many E-drug posts between 2007 and 2012.

Robert Weissman remembers him in the next link. He talks about the book Worst Pills, Best Pills, a monumental book that provided people with information about the side effects of medications and warned of drug interactions. With the first edition in 1988, the book sold 2.5 million copies – the proceeds from those sales helped pay for Public Citizen’s headquarters building. Worst Pills, Best Pills has been supplemented by a website, WorstPills.org, which is updated regularly, and Worst Pills, Best Pills News, a monthly newsletter with a peak circulation of more than 150,000.
