A physical or physiological effect on the body caused by a drug, other than its intended effect. Most side effects tend to be undesirable. For example, antipsychotics are available to treat acute psychosis in people with schizophrenia, but unfortunately many of the older agents such as clopazine are associated with problems including fever, anxiety and confusion. |
