Prescription Side Effects What Is The Average Number Of Side Effects That A Prescription Medication Will Have?

What is the average number of side effects that a prescription medication will have? - prescription side effects

To listen to the speaker of the health thought to recall that the usual prescription of drugs, on average, 8 of side effects. Has anyone a hint or the study for this calculation? I'm not saying that the number is correct, so I wonder if anyone knows what the number is.

I do not know why, but I asked this question on Yahoo Answers last week and my question was deleted. It seems to represent a very sensible question.

Thank you.
