My point is that you have to be careful when you look at adverse effects of any medicine, whether it be blood pressure meds, vaccines, ibuprofen, etc. I write prescriptions all the time for different meds. It's unreal if you look up the side effects in the PDR for some very routine drugs. And yet people get many of these side effects all the time that aren't taking the meds.
As an example, I have patients all the time asking why they have dry mouth. I ask about meds because some meds have dry mouth as one of the first symptoms. Then they tell me that they aren't taking any meds. So that's no proof that someone with dry mouth that is also taking one of the meds with dry mouth as a side effect, has the dry mouth due to the med.
