Question

Medications that are legal and used properly have no risks or side effects?

Answer 1

False, many can affect the heart or brain when used and that’s the purpose of it being used.

Answer 2

False. Even if a medication is legal is often times comes with side effects. For example medications used to treat cancer often times make the patient nauseous. The patient uses the medication knowing there are possible side effects, but they decide that the benefit the medication has treating their illness is more important than the side effects.
