    GlossarySide Effects (Adverse Reactions)

    unintended reactions to a medication or treatment

These can range from mild, such as a headache or nausea, to severe, such as organ damage or allergic reactions. Understanding side effects is crucial for both patients and healthcare providers to manage and mitigate risks associated with medical treatments.
