New Game! Name ONE (only one) side affect that "MAY" result from the drugs we take!
The commercials are 30 seconds and 25 list all the side effects that may occur.
Affect means to influence and Effect means result so I'm not sure which to use..... So drugs may affect your hearing.
So this is mine..... May cause sudden loss in hearing!
This is Viagra.... which cracks me up! :rofl;
-
If Blindness occurs stop taking this drug immediately!
:rofl;
-
I'm going to take them all.......
Dry Mouth

My favorite line in all these commercials is
"If a sudden loss in vision or hearing occurs, stop taking this drug and call your doctor immediately."
You know, I think that if I have a sudden loss of hearing or vision...I'm calling my doctor immediately even if I'm taking no prescriptions whatsoever!

Leg Cramps......

Stephen Colbert has a segment on his show, called Cheating Death, where he talks about different advances in health science. He then plugs a product from a fake pharmaceutical company, who he says is the sponsor, that offers something that does the same thing. He then lists all the side effects of the product. Some of them are completely ridiculous.
this is one of my favorites...

I wish they would put one on Viagra saying "Do not laugh whilst waiting for this to work" We tried these a few years ago and could not do any thing for laughing, waiting for it to work. In the end we gave up. Such is life.

I saw a commercial for some colon heath pill, and in the fine print, which is really hard to see, it said that the product had not yet been FDA approved. I'm not sure how legal that is, and I don't think I'd want to take something that hasn't been tested by FDA or Health Canada.

Sadly, this is the one that got me: "If you experience unexplained muscle pain or weakness, this is a sign of a rare but serious side effect." I took Zocor for exactly one month and that's exactly what I got. It's called rhabdomyolisis. I had 18% function before I started the Zocor and went down to 0 while in the hospital (it ultimartly went back to 11%).

gum overgrowth, excess growth of facial and body hair
I had to laugh a bit at this one. Gum overgrowth I never got but the growth of facial and body hair not such a bad thing if your a guy. A REALLY cool thing if your a 13 y.o. boy. I was shaving in the 7th grade and had the coolest sideburns (they were hip back in the 70's). Girls also loved the chest hair not so much that there was a lot but it was thin and very soft. ;D
Sometimes side effects have their advantages.
