side effects

Side effects are unintended, often mild or temporary effects that can occur when using a medication or treatment. While they are not the primary purpose of the treatment, they result from how the medication interacts with the body. For example, a medication might help reduce symptoms but also cause things like dry mouth, drowsiness, or nausea. Not everyone experiences side effects, and their intensity can vary. It's important to report any unusual or severe reactions to your healthcare provider, who can help manage or minimize them while ensuring the treatment’s benefits outweigh the risks.
