Can a drug itself cause the disease it is meant to cure?

I came across something that said that if drugs are taken in concentrations other than the normal ones, they can start causing the disease instead of curing it.

I think besides treatments that deal with cell divisin (radiotherapy and chimiotherapy to treat cancer) drugs wont cause the SAME disease youre treating for because the treatments are mostly to counter the disease.

That doesnt mean that they cant cause other health problems, many can indeed
