by Suzy Cohen    (Find this book)

Unpleasant, uncomfortable, and unexplained side effects? Drug Muggers is your side effect solution.

Pharmacist Suzy Cohen calls these medications "drug muggers," and she says it's essential to replenish what a drug mugger steals from your body in order to feel your best and avoid side effects.
