Other person: "Ask your Dr. for a prescription for such and such."
McGregor: "Only 8 medications have been tested on and approved for pregnant women."
Also a fun fact, medications are never tested on old people because they are often taking other medications that can affect results. Also-- generics are always tested on healthy, young men.
Three stars because lots of the info was a repeat for me. What can I say? I'm obsessed with our messed up system.
