It's mostly a problem in medical research. I can't explain it all how and why but a good introductory read is Ben Goldacre's book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0007350740/ref=nosim?tag=bs0b-21
Ben's new book bad pharma.
Read Bad Pharma by Ben Goldacre, people. It's widely known that pharmaceutical companies are not acting in the best interests of patients, yet the government and regulators do nothing.

If this makes you furious, read Bad Pharma by Ben Goldacre. It's a bit dense at times but he really tries to make it accessible to the layman.
They ARE overdoses and tend to be from opiods. That doesn't mean they aren't safe, just that like heroin it breeds dependency. People aren't as careful when they think they have something "safe" from a doctor. It functions exactly the same as heroin in fact except these people aren't looking out because they aren't thinking they start off by doing anything "wrong" and are less likely to be doing it in groups.

I edited this is after it became clear there was no reasoning with this individual. Maybe I made a verbal mistep but this medicine is nonsense: Here is a good starting place for anyone casually looking into these ideas. It is a blog yes but it is run by Ben Goldacre, who is a physician that also has a good Ted talk on battling bad science. And he is no "shill" as I will be called here several times. He has an entire book dedicated to calling out pharma mis-practice as well.

I don't believe they're inherently evil, but I think they exploit loop holes or simply fail to meet certain standards that they should be required to, but aren't. Like hiding unflattering data. Sort of like I don't think that every company that gets away paying a few percent of the tax they're supposed to isn't evil, they're exploiting loopholes that I'd expect them to but that I also believe shouldn't exist.
