Taken As Directed is a documentary film about a controversial prescription drug and its unexpected, catastrophic effects on five healthy people who took it.
Each person interviewed in this documentary was prescribed Lariam (mefloquine), an anti-malarial drug, to protect them from malaria. Their health was ruined and their lives changed forever because of Lariam's hidden "adverse effects." They weren't warned that this little white pill could cause disastrous consequences. Along with protection from a dread disease, the pill they took brought devastating long term illness. Their stories reveal the truth behind the side effect warnings that are handed out with this prescription drug--warnings designed to minimize risk and reassure consumers that Lariam is "safe." And Lariam is just one of many common prescription drugs with hidden, potentially deadly adverse effects. |
