We all know that all drugs have positive effects (that they remove the causes and symptoms of the disease) and:
SE: side effects, the negative effect on the body that could be toxic or cause undesireable on the body
Contraindication - when the drug could not be administered
Drug interaction - possible potentiating effect when given concomittantly with other drugs
Some drugs cause toxicity, other diseases and even death. Many deaths being monitored in US were not caused by primary causes but due to iatrogenesis: by the MDs and the procedures/drugs that were administered.
There are certain drugs that are deadly; some are still in the market, especially in the LDC, where their local FDA are not strict (or could be bribed to look the other way) Some have been withdrawn from the market like Crestor.
