Are side effects always bad ?

Answer 1

nope...if your talking about medicines some side effects have turned out to be "cures" for other conditions.

Answer 2

It depends on what medications you're on, what side effects you get! Most times side-effects cannot be avoided when someone really needs some kind of medication. And side-effects vary from person to person. Someone may suffer the whole wide range of bad side-effects to one tablet whereas other swon't or if they do, feel it far less. Sometimes you can actually ask your doctor to change a tablet if side effects prove too harsh to live with.

Answer 3

The answer to this has a lot to do with biological chemistry, actually. All life forms work on the same basic principles. Plants and humans both have DNA, RNA, enzymes, genes, mitochondria, ATP/ADP cycle, sugars, lipids, etc. Most of what you learn in a biological chemistry class will apply to both humans and to plants. The chemical reactions that make life possible work basically the same in humans as it does in plants. Every chemical a plant makes was made by an enzyme. Every chemical broken down by the liver, is broken down by an enzyme. And humans and our ancestors have been eating plants for millions of years, and have evolved enzymes to deal with most plant based chemicals. This is why most chemicals found in plants are harmless to humans. However, when you draw up a new molecule in a laboratory and try to figure out a way to create it using chemical reactions, the results are quite different. Also consider that a chemical found in a plant needs to be compatible with the biological chemistry of life - if a chemical's structure interfered with the basic functions of life, then natural selection would select against that chemical and the plant would not contain that chemical. However, with pharmaceutical drugs, there is no requirement that the chemical be compatible with how organic chemistry works. These are the reasons why pharmaceuticals have so many side effects and herbs in general do not.

Answer 4

Not always, in fact some effects that many view bad can help other people.

example: if a medication is know to cause drowsiness and someone who has insomnia takes it then the side effect is quite a good thing after all.
