As a herbal observation, it seems like such a scam that medical pamphlets will list possible side-effects, but not frequencies.

Knowing that one person in one thousand saw some issue is very different from 20% of people. Especially as almost every medication I've ever seen advertised has a list two pages long of possible side effects.

How is a person supposed to make an informed judgment?

I don't know if it's the law here in France or just nice manufacturers, but I've seen side effects broken down by occurence rate ( 1 in 100,000: X, Y, Z; 1 in 1,000,000: A, B, C, etc.) multiple times.

All US drugs have to include the rate of side effects in their clinical trials.

Google "Product name prescribing information"

The frequencies are there, they were in all pamphlets I read. It is a law.

Autocorrected from honest or personal I believe.
