Through our blog, we pride ourselves in keeping you informed with all things pharmacy. Today we're bringing you an article out of Pharmacy Times that explains the difference between the two terms, 'adverse event' and 'side effect'.
Shelby Leheny explains, "Adverse events are unintended pharmacologic effects that occur when a
medication is administered correctly while a side effect is a secondary
unwanted effect that occurs due to drug therapy."
These two terms are often used as synonyms for one another when in fact, they are entirely different. Read more on how and why these concepts are so different in the full article HERE!
