موضوع: Difference Between Side Effects and Adverse Reactions الجمعة 1 فبراير 2013 - 15:54
Side effects, precisely, are unwanted but natural and anticipated consequences of taking a particular medication. EX: 1.The constipation and dry mouth you might develop while taking atropine are good examples of minor side effects. 2.A perfect example of a serious side effect is excessive bleeding resulting from the use of a blood thinner.
Adverse reactions are completely different; they are rare and unforeseen bodily responses.
EX
One type of adverse reaction is an allergic reaction caused by a particular drug. A minor adverse reaction, for example, might involve no more than an instance of an allergic disorder known as hives induced by taking penicillin.
