The sixth leading cause of death is Drug Reactions.  More than 100,000 Americans are killed yearly from negative reactions to over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and prescription medications.

Another 2.1 million are seriously injured every year than most people ever realized, researcher scientists say.

The University of Toronto professor contends "But what we're arguing is that there should be increased awareness also of side effects."
