prescription drugs are safe when you follow directions, right?

In the medical world, new and more effective wonder drugs are being discovered and introduced almost daily, while older ones are improved and refined. Yet the perfect drug still eludes us- the one that will do its job with absolutely no deleterious side effects. Consider blood pressure drugs, for example. They are the most widely used prescription medications on the market and among the most effective. Yet they carry a host of side effects, which can include weakness, fatigue, drowsiness, etc. People who need these drugs often must test several different kinds before they find one they can tolerate. The point is, no drug is completely safe.
