Kõrvaltoimingu

Kõrvaltoimingu, also known as side effect in English, refers to any adverse or unintended effect that occurs when a substance, such as a medication or a chemical, is administered or consumed. These effects can manifest in various forms, including physical symptoms, psychological changes, or other alterations in the body's normal functioning. Kõrvaltoimingud can be categorized into several types based on their severity and duration. Mild side effects are generally temporary and do not significantly impact the individual's quality of life. Moderate side effects may require medical intervention or adjustments to the treatment regimen. Severe side effects can be life-threatening and necessitate immediate medical attention. The occurrence of side effects can vary greatly among individuals, depending on factors such as age, overall health, genetic predisposition, and the specific substance involved. Monitoring and managing side effects are crucial aspects of medical treatment and chemical exposure, as they can significantly influence the efficacy and safety of the intervention.
