Answer:
there is a risk taking any medication, even tylenol or aspirin carry inherent risk. As long as you take your medications as prescribed, then you have little to fear. It is those that abuse their meds or do not take them appropriately, or do not call their doctor when they experience a change in their status that run into trouble.
Every medicine has potential for horrible side effects. Your doc determines if the benefit out weighs the risk. If you're uncomfortable taking something..call the doc %26 tell him. Maybe he can give you something with less possible side effects. You have to be your own advocate. Educate yourself about whatever disease is being treated %26 what the outcome would be left untreated.
Well, every medical practice contains some risk. The problem I had with this website is that it doesn't list their credentials. Who are they and how do we know that they know what they're talking about? I think the best thing that you can do is talk to your doctor. He/she is the best source for good, reliable information. Obviously, the benefits to you outweigh the risks.
Dear Mama...unfortunately people have died taking something as simple as aspirin. Everyone's body reacts differently to medication but the benefits outweigh the risks in most cases. The important thing is to keep an open dialogue with your physician and tell him/her about any unusual feelings or side effects. Some medications demand closer monitoring than others and the patient has to play a role in this by communicating with the doctor. best wishes
the website doesn't list how many people are taking the medicines ... which is probably in the millions ... which would also be a very small percentage of withdrawl symptoms and even death ... i find that reading info on side effect just makes me more worried than i need to be ... and may actually make me think i am having side effects ... talk to your doctor if you are concerned ... they will help you and you can even call a pharmacy and ask questions (even one that doesn't fill your script) ...
