I have been contacted by a company that trials new drugs,I have invited to take part as I’m in the age group of people they are looking for.

This will be the third trial that has conducted on humans and at this stage the little I know about the trial drug is it’s a drug to assist ladies who have had breast cancer with the after effects like hot flushes night sweats ect ,that many in my age group also suffer as part of ageing


They are looking for healthy ladies in my age group who have ....NOT HAD ..breast cancer and I fit into that group thank goodness I’ve never had BC or any sign of it despite taking hormone replacement therapy for many years .
Would you concider taking part in a 10 day in house new drug trial ? I’d have to stay at the facility for 13 days
 

I was asked to take part in a drug trial one time; I was on the fence until I read the fine print. Without any information being provided up front (only in the very fine print), one of the drugs being tested had already been shown to be extremely dangerous and to have no positive effect on the medical condition for which it was prescribed. A friend at the time was fighting to save her jaw because of the drug (she lost the battle), and I wanted no part of that poison. I asked the drug trial coordinator and she said some or most of the trial participants were being given that particular drug and the trial was funded by that drug company because they were still trying to prove it could be useful.

I thought it was underhanded and downright dangerous and I refused to participate.

Be extremely careful. Better yet, follow Aunt Bea's advice.
 

Some people who really need the money offered might, but I would never be a guinea pig in a drug trial. I already have the opinion that most drugs that are already approved have harmful side effects.

Jane, was this by any chance a so-called osteoporosis drug?
 
No! I know that from time to time certain prisoners in state prisons would be offered compensation to test out new drugs. Although few inmates accepted the deal, there were some that did agree to being the drug company’s guinea pig for a few reasons. It gave the prisoners that were resmorseful an opportunity to maybe give something back to society. It also gave them the ability to pay their victims a small monetary compensation. In my own opinion, I believe that it also eased their conscience maybe just a bit. Keep in mind, that I am only talking about the prisoners that were very remorseful.

There are rules (stringent) that drug companies must adhere to and all information must be shared with the state health dept., the National Health Agency and the CDC. One of the exclusions are that one of the side effects may not be ‘death.’ This would require the company to have made many experiments on animals with no negative reactions to death. Of course, I have known there to have been at least one ‘oops.’ This resulted in a larger than normal payoff to the inmate’s victims.
 
Since I have had reactions to prescription drugs and vaccines I don't particularly trust the approved drugs or vaccines... so no thank you for me. I have to be really convinced I need a drug before I will willingly take it.

And I try to check out any 'script online for it's particulars before I use it. I don't just trust what the doc says, the pharmacist, or the literature provided with it.
