I have high blood pressure and my doctor
recently asked me to enroll in a clinical trial. What do you think?
Well, there are some benefits to enrolling in a
clinical trial. The medicine is provided free and you are well monitored. Unfortunately,
there is no way of knowing if the medication will work and the potential for
side effects is ever present. If you do not have a life threatening illness and
there are other options available, I would suggest go with the traditional
treatment.
Clinical trial enrollment is for people who have no money to pay
for medications. The only time I would recommend enrolling in a clinical trial
is if you have a cancer for which there is no other treatment- then you do not
have much to lose.
