Side effects
In addition to the desired effects of drugs, side effects or interactions with other drugs are always possible. Also certain individual circumstances (allergies, health problems) can sometimes mean that certain drugs cannot or should not be used. This is called a contraindication. Please discuss possible side effects with your treating physician, which – depending on the medication – can vary. He knows you well and can also tell you why specific medication might be contraindicated in your case.
