Drug companies should absolutely be required to come clean about situations like this in their commercial websites. The main fear that the average person has associated with any drug is its potential side effects. People enjoy the good things a drug can do for them, but not side effects. And as this is so, the public has the absolute right to not be misled about side effects associated with a drug and should not ever be surprised about any of them.
I feel that it should be very much up to the consumer to do quality research on drugs. They need to ensure for themselves as much as possible to find out the truth behind drugs that they take and learn all side effects that come with taking them. But drug companies have to be required to post all known side effects on their commercial website. If someone goes to that site and sees all of the benefits of a drug, they should not have to hunt elsewhere to know the negatives in order to weigh the two. Additionally, all know side effects should be on the company website. Companies should be required to make a note of 100% of the potential side effects and be fined if they mislead people by leaving any out.
