The Dangers of Side Effects
Presented As Main Effects
In the medical world, proper use of words is highly called for because a simple mistake
could complicate things usually unwanted for the patients. Because this field has full of
jargons that mostly are too technical to not easily be sifted and digested by the general
public, putting them in a layman’s term is indeed helpful. A good example of which are
the words “side effect” and “main effect”. These, are more often than not, interchanged
or used instead of the other. Doing so is not just wrong but also dangerous to the
people’s health.
A side effect of any substance pertains to the result beyond the main or primary
action that is intended by the physician giving drug prescription. The doctor, likewise,
foresees this extra consequence.
For instance, the patient might not be conscious of the side effect of unwanted hair
growth elsewhere on the body while using vasodilator drug called Minoxidil to treat
hypertension. The physician, nevertheless, is very well aware about it, as well as other
implications, such as burning or irritation of the eye, itching, and redness or irritation
at the treated area. By and large, doctors suggest that patients should ignore the side
effects unless serious and often alert the sick persons about their likelihood.
An adverse effect, on the other hand, is identified as an outcome wherein the reaction
occurs over and beyond the main and wanted action of a medicine. Both the physician
and the patient don’t know about it as a consequence of taking such treatment. It
can happen simply due to incorrect dosage. Undesirably, this is very harmful as it
can exacerbate the prognosis of the disease. Occasionally, if the adverse effect is too
serious, there might be a need for hospitalization.
Since side effects paired with adverse effects can be fatal and need to be reversed or
given antidote immediately, a very extra cautious effort not to interchange them with
the main effects in the prescription process must be always observed. After all, it’s the
lives of patients at stake here.
It’s ironic to note that people who seek treatments for their ailments or to prolong their
lives become sicker or morbidly end up six feet underground simply because of such
