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.

Physician's Materia Medica on Side

ADONIS VERNALIS (False Hellebore)
   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

CINNAMON. SAIGON
   The barkpf an undetermined species of CINNAMOMUM. Highly aromatic and somewhat astringent. Prescribed as a carminative and for its specific action in passive menorrhagia and metrorrhagia. As a rule the Saigon Cinnamon is considerably stronger than Cassia, q. v.3

COD LIVER OIL
   The oil obtained from the fresh livers of GADU8 MoRRHUA, Lin. Readily digested and having a peculiar power of improving nutrition. It is believed that this property resides in certain constituents of the oil not of a fatty nature and accordingly some of the preparations contain the non-fatty portions only of the oil.

CONVALLAMARIN
   The active principle (glucoside) of LILY-OF-THE-VALLEY, q. v. Dose is stated to be 0.015 to 0.03 Grm. (% to % gr.), but this is prob ably much too large.3

DIGITALIN (German)
   Glucoside obtained from Foxerglove, q. v. Readily soluble in water and therefore well suited for hypodermatic use. [The French Digitalin is considerably stronger, but is less soluble and is not so uniform a product]. Dose, 0.0006 to 0.03 Grm. (1-100 to 1/2 gr.).3

HYDRASTINE
   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

LILY OF THE VALLEY (Convailaria)
   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

PILOCARPINE
   Alkaloid obtained from the leaves of various species of PILOCARPUS, and representing their medicinal activity. see Jaborandi. The alkaloid may be used to advantage in all cases where jaborandi is beneficial, and has besides in a remarkable degree the power of con tracting the pupil of the eye when applied locally. Solutions contain ing 1 to 4 grains to the fluidounce of the hydrochloride are much used by ophthalmologists for their myotic effect and to relieve intraocular tension, Dose, 0.001 to 3
