Alternatively, just don't take anything where the patent hasn't expired. Once the patent has been expired for a few years you'll actually get the truth about the dangers of the drug, because the pharma companies then need to make the old drugs look dangerous in comparison to the new ones. (E.g. why they're publishing fake data about hydroxychloroquine in Lancet and elsewhere.)
