What is meant by side effects of a drug why are side effects produced and why are drugs still used if they have side effects?

Why drugs are still used if they have side effects? -I feel that doctors prescribe meds with risks of some side effects because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of the side effects. That is why your docter monitors you while on the med to make sure you are not effected greatly by the side effects. Where there is a positive there is a negitive. -Side effects are unintentional effects apart from the intended effect of the drug. Drug side effects usually vary per person, and a lot of the time are just possibilities, not certainties. That is why, as the previous answer states, you are monitored by a doctor while using a drug with potentially dangerous or lethal side effects. Yes, side effects can include death. (:0) For example, side effects of a pill could include rectal bleeding. This is not the desired effect of the drug, just a possible, and most of the time unwanted, effect of using a sexual impotency drug.
