Most all drugs have the possibility of producing negative effects. I have a fellow professor at the college I teach at that was on lipitor. When they changed his medication, he developed cancerous tumors within the rib cage. However, because the cancer was not genetically produced, they were able to control it. Always weight out the risks involved, and make sure the physician gives you full disclosure on the medication he/she recommends.
