There are many misconceptions of medicines and side effects.
All medications have side effects.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to eliminate ALL side effects of a medication in all people. Side effects are listed in the package insert of all prescription drugs, dividing them into categories of the symptoms they cause. The percent of people that experience the particular side effect are also listed. This is the best resource to learn of the types of side effects that are possible with medications. When reviewing a package insert of a prescription drug, realize that the FDA requires the company to include a listing of all potential side effects.
