Infections

Antibiotics are normally beneficial (благотворны) and often lifesaving. But some people react very strongly to penicillin, which can cause nausea, vomiting, skin rashes and a range of side effects. In some cases the reaction can be so severe that it is fatal.

Weight reducing (appetite-suppressant) drugs can have severe effects on about every system of the body, particularly the cardiovascular system. They can be fatal.

Even vitamins can be toxic. For example, medications based on Vitamin A can cross the placenta and cause deformities in a growing foetus (плод).

Answer:

Do all the drugs have side effects? Why is the drug market increasing? Do drugs have any effect on one another? Is there any danger of using tranquillizers and sedatives? Can drugs interact with alcohol? Do any drugs affect the central nervous system? Can vitamins be toxic?
