Question

Medicine plays an important part in the treatment of injuries and illnesses. Perhaps, you have noticed the vast array of medications behind the pharmacist's counter or on the shelf at your local grocery store. The FDA makes sure that each of these medications really works, even though there may be some unpleasant side effects. Why do people take these drugs despite the chance of these side effects?

Answer 1

I think it’s because it’s kind of become some what of a norm to take medications and people don’t see it as too much of a risk to themselves

Answer 2

Answer:

People take these drugs despite the chance for side effects because the chance at potential treatment for whatever illness or disease someone has might be worth it. For example, hair loss with chemotherapy is a side effect. However, most people agree they rather risk the side effect of losing hair if it mean's they'll beat cancer.
