A therapeutic effect is a consequence of a medical treatment of any kind, the results of which are judged to be desirable and beneficial. This is true whether the result was expected, unexpected, or even an unintended consequence of the treatment. An adverse effect, on the other hand, is a harmful and undesired effect. What constitutes a therapeutic effect versus a side effect is a matter of both the nature of the situation in which a treatment is used and the goals of treatment. There is no inherent difference between therapeutic and undesired side effects; both responses are behavioral/physiologic changes which occur as a response to the treatment strategy or agent. However, those changes which are viewed as desirable, given the situation, are called therapeutic; those undesirable for the situation are viewed as unfavorable. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by Rosestars - Tue Feb 17 08:49:43 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. What kinds of "therapeutic effects" are you expecting? Amoxil is an antibiotic. Not a compound with many uses, antibiotic effects being but one. Amoxil is an antibiotic, period. It kills certain spectra of bacteria. The therapy is that you hopefully won't have so many harmful bacteria running around your system anymore and your immune system can take care of the remainder. Do be mindful of the side effects, however. Also realize that using antibiotics can be harmful if used too often when not necessary. Your immune system comes to depend on them and you develop resistant strains. Answered by Kosh - Tue Feb 17 18:19:36 2009 Does this have any educational effect on Pitt Bull advocates? Q.
