How are some pills effecfive on their own but fatal when combined with a particular other pill?
In: Biology
Side effects and complementary effects.
Example: A blood thinner would help heart attack patients but coupled with aspirin could result in too much bleeding in the stomach. So the effect of one coupled with the effect of the other produces an unwanted and dangerous result.
Nearly all medication come with side effects. If a medication has a side effect that complicates or increases the effect of another, it could be very dangerous. For example you’d not want a medicine that lowers blood pressure as a side effect acting alongside medication that ALREADY lowers blood pressure – the combined effect is dangerous.
