ABOUT MEDSHADOW

MedShadow is a nonprofit foundation that focuses on the often overlooked side effects of over-the-counter and prescription medications. We are dedicated to empowering people and reforming processes to ensure that we are all better protected.

Medications have many benefits, but it’s essential to know how to balance anticipated benefits against potential side effects. In addition to our focus on side effects, we also help people evaluate alternatives to Western medicine and provide service information about naturally optimizing one’s health. Whatever decision a person makes, our goal is to be supportive.
We categorically refuse to any support from pharmaceutical companies or supplement manufacturers. You can be sure that our information is unbiased and unbought.
