Thank you for sharing - medicines affect people in different ways, and people have different attitudes to medicine with some happy to take them and others perhaps not so.
It is pretty much well known that all medicines have side effects and in my opinion ?
- You should always read the leaflet / information pack about the medication before taking it.
- After taking it, monitor your condition, look out for adverse changes and look out for known side-effects (as documented)
- You may also come across a new side effect that is not documented (I guess this might be rare) and if you do report it to the relevant authority. The information is in the leaflet, but you can also report it here.
