    GlossarySystemic Side Effects

    unintended effects of a treatment affecting the entire body

    Systemic Side Effects, also known as Systemic Adverse Effects or Systemic Reactions, refer to unintended effects of a medication or treatment that affect the entire body rather than just a specific area. For example, a drug prescribed for hair loss might cause nausea, dizziness, or changes in blood pressure, impacting multiple organ systems rather than just the scalp.
