Need to Know: The Dangers of Side Effects Presented as Main Effects
With the advent
of internet many people have become medical-savvy as they turn online for
self-diagnosis and self-medication. This has become a bad habit s we are not
really qualifies to self-dispense medicines. There are medical things we won’t
understand unless we have studied for so long lie all the practiced doctors. 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.
But not all the
side effects are boon. They are bane, too, hence, they are often used as a
therapeutic benefit in the pharmaceutical industry. Like the Minoxidil which,
initially was developed to treat high blood pressure. People taking it reported
an unusual side effect: Hair began to grow on various parts of their bodies. In
this case, the downside of the drug is controlled and employed for a beneficial
and therapeutic effect judiciously. It is noted that the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) approved prescription of two percent (2%) Minoxidil
topical solution for hair loss in men in 1988 and for women in 1992.
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.
Just like the Sildenafil
Citrate— a medication used to treat erectile
dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Its most common adverse
reactions (≥ 2%) include headache, flushing, dyspepsia, abnormal vision, nasal
congestion, back pain, myalgia, nausea, dizziness and rash. Patients should
seek emergency treatment if an erection lasts over four hours. Patients should
stop Sildenafil Citrate and seek medical
care if a sudden decrease or loss of hearing and also that of vision in one or
both eyes.
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 medical error. So, it’s still best to deal with health conditions like
