Drugs With Side Effects

Tweet

Do you know what side effects the medicines you take have on your body? Are you taking any prescription drugs that help you a lot with your medical problems, but have big side effects? Are you taking any drugs that could potentially kill you if you are not careful? Has your doctor or pharmacist explained how your medicines interact with each other? For example, I take a drug for migraine headaches. One of the side effects is forgetfulness. That worries me. A wonderful side effect of this drug is my blood pressure went down and I lost weight. I have to be sure I have money to buy this expensive drug because I cannot just stop taking this drug. If I ever stop taking this medication, I must gradually reduce the dosage over a period of time as recommended by my doctor. If I stop all at once, I could have a stroke or heart attack and even die. I must also be careful what drugs I take along with this medication. Alcohol is practically a thing of the past. I will put up with the side effects and take the risks because this is the only medication that relieved my migraine headaches. Anyone who has suffered migraines for years knows what I am talking about. You will almost walk through hell to keep a migraine away. It is so important to check drug interactions and side effects of your medications. Sometimes even the foods you eat can alter the way a drug responds in your body.
