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 hair loss the natural way, especially with NOVUHAIR that offers
