Side
Most of the time, medicines make our lives better. They reduce aches and pains, fight infections, and control problems such as high blood pressure or diabetes. But medicines can also cause unwanted reactions, such as drug interactions, side effects, and allergies.
What is a drug interaction?A drug interaction is a change in the way a drug acts in the body when taken with certain other drugs, foods, or supplements or when taken while you have certain medical conditions. Examples include:
- Two drugs, such as aspirin and blood thinners
- Drugs and food, such as statins and grapefruit
- Drugs and supplements, such as gingko and blood thinners
- Drugs and medical conditions, such as aspirin and peptic ulcers
Interactions could cause a drug to be more or less effective, cause side effects, or change the way one or both drugs work.
What are side effects?Side effects are unwanted, usually unpleasant, effects caused by medicines. Most are mild, such as a stomachache, dry mouth, or drowsiness, and go away after you stop taking the medicine. Others can be more serious. Sometimes a drug can interact with a disease that you have and cause a side effect. For example, if you have a heart condition, certain decongestants can cause you to have a rapid heartbeat.
What are drug allergies?Drug allergies are another type of reaction. They can range from mild to life-threatening. Skin reactions, such as hives and rashes, are the most common type. Anaphylaxis, a serious allergic reaction, is less common.
How can I stay safe when taking medicines?When you start a new prescription or over-the-counter medicine, make sure you understand how to take it correctly. Know which other medicines, foods, and supplements you need to avoid. Always talk to your health care provider or pharmacist if you have questions about your medicines.

   The herb of ADONIS VERNALIS, Lin. Cardiac tonic and diure tic, resembling in its action Digitalis but not liable to produce cumu lative effects. Uses the same as those of Digitalis. Dose, according to Botkin, 0.2 to 0.6 Grm. (3 to 10 grs.), but smaller doses, e. g. 0.06 to 0.12 Grm. (1 to 2 grs.). are commonly given. The active principle is the glucoside adonidin, of which the dose is stated to be 0.004 to 0.016 Grm. (1 16 to % gr.), but this seems large.3

   The oil obtained from the fresh livers of GADU8 MoRRHUA, Lin. Readily digested and having a peculiar power of improving nutrition.

   An alkaloid obtained from GOLDEN SEAL, q. v. The medicinal activity of Golden-seal seems to reside chiefly in this alkaloid which is a valuable remedy in catarrhal affections of the mucous mem branes, and as a uterine hemostatic. Dose, 0.008 to 0.03 Grm. (1/8 to 1/2 grs.).3
   The flowers, the rhizome and roots 'and the herb of CONVALLARIA MAJALIS. Lin. Cardiac tonic, acting also like Digitalis as an active diuretic; in large doses, emeto-cathartic. Active principle the glucoside Convallamarin, q. v.3
