You can find lots of articles stating some drug treatment is effective and you can find probably as many stating a drug treatment isn't. We must remember, even though statistically it may be effective, we are individuals and some may not benefit at all. We also are going on what we know now and that may change. Science and medicine change with new discoveries and new data. In the sciences, you know things aren't absolute and that what you know now may be not correct in the future.
