Help Support Our Mission
Your donation to MedShadow Foundation will fund our mission and our medically rigorous journalism to help people understand how to balance the benefits of medications against their potential side effects, which can be difficult to recognize.
We also investigate potential improvements to the drug manufacturing process, with the aim of ensuring that we are all ultimately better protected.
We do not receive any financial support from the pharmaceutical or supplement industries.
IMPROVE FDA INSPECTION RATES
Help Us Make Your Prescription Drugs Safer With Improved Oversight By The FDA
Here’s an alarming fact: More than 2,000 pharmaceutical plants (both overseas and in the U.S.) have not been inspected by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in five years or more. This represents 42% of all 4,700 plants currently registered to produce drugs for the U.S. These facilities, which the FDA last reviewed prior to May 2019, produce essential medications such as antibiotics, blood thinners, and cancer treatments*.
What are we committed to?
- Awareness - All medicines have side effects. We can help you manage them.

What we bring to you.
- Medicine can help, heal, or harm. Medical harm and side effects of prescription drugs are two of the top leading causes of death in the U.S. This is a hidden crisis. Several large corporations own 80% of health media today. And 90% of health media is funded by Big Pharma advertising.
- A large portion of the US world’s population is overmedicated and undereducated.
- Side effects are personal. They can affect everyone differently. They can be dangerous or benign, can impact the quality of life, or even be life-threatening.
