The 99% Solution
Special | 4m 40sVideo has Closed Captions
Scientists want to understand why medicines cause violent reactions in some patients.
Approximately 99% of the population take medicines without a problem. But some people experience dangerous reactions, which can force the FDA to pull drugs from the shelf, denying patients needed help and costing drug companies billions. Researchers with The Hamner–UNC Institute for Drug Safety Science are trying to understand why.
