Exposing unproven or unnecessary treatments and procedures

Unproven or unnecessary medical treatments and procedures not only can fail to help patients, but also can expose them to avoidable serious harm. Public Citizen protects patients by monitoring drugs, devices, dietary supplements and other areas in which patients may be subject to potentially harmful treatments or procedures.

We expose unnecessary or unproven drugs, devices and dietary supplements on the market, and other treatments and procedures in which the potential risks outweigh the benefits.
