Are we getting well or creating additional health problems caused by the side effects of medications?

More and more people are turning to natural health methods to successfully stay healthy, treat ailments and avoid the dangerous side effects of drugs.

Even over the counter drugs are causing you harmful side effects.

For example: Tylenol (Acetaminophen) prolonged use of Acetaminophen can damage the liver and kidneys.

Maybe not today, but down the road the continued used of over the counter and prescribed drugs will lead to harmful side effects.

Some side effects are worst than the ailment itself.

A friend of mine suffers from anxiety and panic attacks. After seeing two doctors for 6 months and trying 5 or 6 different drugs, she couldn’t take it any more. She stopped going to the doctor because each drug she was given, had side effects that made her feel worse than the anxiety and panic attacks ever did.

There are natural remedies for anxiety and panic; you can check it out at Natural Health Remedies For The Body and Mind.

Let’s take a look at a few common conditions, the popular drugs used to treat them and the side effects.

* ACNE *

Antibiotics, such as Clindamycin, can cause colitis, which causes (among others) bloody stools and in some cases can be fatal.

Some doctors prescribe contraceptive pills,
for girls suffering of acne, which contain estrogen, this drug suppresses the hormonal actions, and produces some dangerous side effects; nausea, vomiting, headaches, weight gain and liver malfunctions.

* ARTHRITIS *

NSAID, (Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) have terrible side effects.

For example, Celebrex may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. This chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors for it, such as high blood pressure, or when NSAIDs are taken for long periods.

They also increase the chance of serious skin reactions or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. With any of these medicines, patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers.

* BLOOD PRESSURE *

The drug Norvasc is used for high blood pressure and angina.

The most common side effects edema, headache, fatigue, and dizziness.

* CHOLESTEROL *

Lipotor has known serious side effects such as:

Serious muscle problems, may lead to liver and kidney problems, including kidney failure.

The most common side effects are headache, constipation, diarrhea, gas, upset stomach, stomach pain, rash, muscle and joint pain

But wait, it gets better.

Now there is a drug for both High Blood Pressure and Cholesterol. It is Caduet, a combination of Norvasc and Lipotor which causes the side effects of both drugs.
