In medicine, an adverse effect is a harmful and undesired effect resulting from a medication or other intervention such as surgery. An adverse effect may be termed a "side effect", when judged to be secondary to a main or therapeutic effect, and may result from an unsuitable or incorrect dosage or procedure, which could be due to medical error. Adverse effects are sometimes referred to as "iatrogenic" because they are generated by a physician/treatment. Some adverse effects only occur only when starting, increasing or discontinuing a treatment. Using a drug or other medical intervention which is contraindicated may increase the risk of adverse effects. Adverse effects may cause medical complications of a disease or procedure and negatively affect its prognosis. They may also lead to non-compliance with a treatment regimen. The harmful outcome is usually indicated by some result such as morbidity, mortality, alteration in body weight, levels of enzymes, loss of function, or as a pathological change detected at the microscopic, macroscopic or physiological level. It may also be indicated by symptoms reported by a patient. Adverse effects may cause a reversible or irreversible change, including an increase or decrease in the susceptibility of the individual to other chemicals, foods, or procedures, such as drug interactions. In clinical trials, a distinction is made between adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs). Generally, any event which causes death, permanent damage, birth defects, or requires hospitalization is considered an SAE. The results of these trials are often included in the labeling of the medication to provide information both for patients and the prescribing physicians. From Wikipedia under the

Q. My sister cited a magazine article that said ultrasound is unsafe for the baby. My wife, an MD, assures me it is safe. I'm trying to give my sister the benefit of the doubt by asking for any adverse effects. However, my instinct tells me that my sister is trying to sell an alternative method of mothering by slamming western medicine. Asked by mtg4772 - Thu Jan 10 16:47:59 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Well nothing has been found yet. Professionals recommend only having them done for medical reasons though because at one time the medical profession claimed x-rays were totally safe and posed no risk for pregnant women. It takes time to see the implications, and since ultrasound is a fairly recent medical procedure, many aire on the side of safety. I know from recent research myself that there is a major warning when it comes to 4D ultrasound because of it being new, and being able to splice images of organs - it will take a while as well to wait and see. It is best to be safe, but I see no threat getting routine ultrasounds during pregnancy or for clinical/diagnosic reasons. Answered by Sweetness - Thu Jan 10 18:03:30 2008 Is there any medicine that will react negatively to marijuana? Q. I take Terazosin which is for treatment for enlarged prostrates (although i take it for another medical reason), will something like that have a adverse effect if smoked a joint? Asked by Live Free or Die - Tue Apr 21 22:12:00 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. There are dozens and dozens of odd interactions with marijuana and other medications. Especially ones that are active in the nervous system, like Terazosin. These typically aren't life threatening or instant death sorts of interactions, but can be quite unpleasant to experience, or result in a necessary medication not working correctly. Either check with the prescribing doctor or don't do it. Better on the not doing it part.

Q. What remedial/general Steps should we do when side effect/adverse drug reactons of a wrong medicines occured? Asked by ayub shaikh - Sun Mar 12 19:34:45 2006 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. There is no one answer, since it depends on the drug. Your safest bet is to bring the drug or container with you and get the person to an emergency room as soon as possible.
