Finding Paragraph 1- How Could A Certain Medication Be Helpful For You Yet Have Even More Harmful Side Effects?

With more and more people getting sick and in pain, the medical field is having plenty of patients come through. They are not feeling like they should or are having excruciating pains that just will not go away. That is when they turn to different medicines and medications. There is a woman in her 30’s and she goes to the doctor saying she has back pains. He prescribes her some strong pain killers to help ease her pain. She takes the pills, and weeks later, she has a heart attack. Now how could a certain medication be helpful for you yet have even more harmful side effects? There is a pain medication called Phenazophridine that is supposed to make a person’s pains go away. The side effect of that particular medication is that your urine may change colors or have a color to it. A man in Pennsylvania took this pill and experienced for the first time in his life blue urine. Imagine that? I always thought that a medication is supposed to make you feel better and relieved, not worst than what you already feel. There has to be a better way for someone to get better without having harmful side effects during the process. (Dr. Koretz) Medications will always be out but they will always have side effects to them too.
