An unwanted or harmful response caused by a medicine or treatment.
If evaluating a treatment, consider likely effectiveness, adverse reactions, and costs and benefits to the patient and to others.
Do not say that a medicine is completely safe. Testing provides evidence about safety, effectiveness and adverse reactions, but no treatment is risk-free.
