How does an adverse reaction occur after taking medication?
In: 0
Basically, you take a medication and it contains a chemical compound (or group of them) that is intended for a specific purpose. But, the chemicals won’t just go to the place you need them, they go all over the body, and sometimes those chemicals can cause a different part of the body to also react to them and cause problems.
Here is an example:
Aspirin. Aspirin acts as a blood thinner and pain reliever. So when you take it for your heart or a headache, it helps those things. But since it travels all over your body, not just to your heart and head, the blood thinning properties of it could cause you to bleed elsewhere, like in your intestines or something.
