Why are there no “perfect drugs” that work well without side effects?

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.

I think the answer is there’s not really such a thing as “side effects.” There’s just “effects.” A decongestant “may cause drowsiness” as a side effect and the very same drug as a sleep aid “may cause dry mouth” as a side effect. The drug is the same, it’s just whether the effects of the drug are advertised on the front of the box or not.
