    unintended reactions to a medication or treatment

    Side effects, also known as adverse effects or unwanted effects, are unintended reactions or outcomes that occur in addition to the desired therapeutic effect of 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.
