It seems like the more potent a drug/medication is, the more risks are involved with it, where as drugs with very little risk don’t help nearly as much.
In: Biology
Drugs are chemicals that blend in well enough with your body’s regular chemicals to do something while not being too different as to break everything.
But the fact of the matter is we don’t really know how the human body works very well, so finding these drugs is a process of trial and error. And we tend to take whatever works well enough. Usually that means taking the risk of side effects. And human bodies aren’t all the same, so that further complicates things.
Chances are, until we can both simulate a human body down to the atom and make nanobots effectively, our drugs will always have side effects.
