Surfing through the Internet, I found an article that caught my attention, so I decided to post it here. It is actually a list of twenty-six side effects that come with most of medicines that are in the market.
- Drainage, crusting, or oozing of your eyes or eyelids
- Swollen, black, or "hairy" tongue
- Changes in the shape or location of body fat
- Decrease in testicle size
- Sores or swelling in your rectal or genital area
- Blue lips or fingernails
- Purple spots on your skin
- White patches or sores inside your mouth or on your lips
- Irregular back-and- forth movements of your eyes
- Enlarged breasts in males.
- Unusual risk-taking behavior, no fear of danger
- Extreme fear
- Hallucinations, fainting, coma
- Fussiness, irritability, crying for an hour or longer
- Paralysis
- Thoracic Hematoma (bleeding into your chest)
- A blood clot in your lung
- Liver damage
- Kidney damage
- A lump in your breast
- Decreased bone marrow function
- Congestive heart failure
- Shingles
- Nerve pain lasting for several weeks or months
- Bleeding that will not stop
- Coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds
Also, a certain drug that women use for treatment of menopause symptoms can cause cancer, blood clots, dementia, stroke and heart attack. We have to all be careful of the medications we take, even if our doctors are the one who advised us to take them. Research on our part is imperative.
