From the article: ''The term is preferred over the colloquial and imprecise "side effect", as the term "side effect" implies the potential for beneficial consequences, such as death and that the effects are not explained by the pharmacological actions of the drug.''


{{hndis|Dickson, Alexander}}
I can't figure out what one phrase means: "beneficial consequences, such as death"? Does this mean that death is beneficial? Can someone clarify? I'd fix this myself if I knew what the intended sense was. [[User:Katherine Tredwell|Katherine Tredwell]] 04:29, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
From brenniewinters-it is adverse side effect-all medication has side effects. As my 104 year old great aunt said(by the way, she is still living and did not see a doctor for 40 years),MEDICATION is only good for a short time if and I mean if you need NEED it. She almost died from arthritis medication-hemmorhage to her stomach. Yes the drug companies want us to go back-it is all about money honey. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/66.69.138.136|66.69.138.136]] ([[User talk:66.69.138.136|talk]]) 16:15, 10 October 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== RADAR ==

JAMA [http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/298/8/851 here] has a news item on RADAR, an independent system for ADRs that has found such things as the link between ticlopidine and clopidogrel and TTP.

== Adverse effect (medicine) ==

This page seems to be a sub-set of [[Adverse effect (medicine)]], and it's not terribly long. Is there enough information overlap that the pages could be merged? [[User:WLU|WLU]] ([[User talk:WLU|talk]]) 13:00, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

==badly written==
This article is really badly written and needs a complete overall. ADR and ADE are not the same terms as previously stated. I have started by including the WHO definition of an ADR but I lack the wiki skill to edit it properly {{unsigned}}
:You should start by editing the body rather than the [[WP:LEAD|lead]], and cite [[WP:RS|reliable sources]]. [[User:WLU|WLU]] ([[User talk:WLU|talk]]) 22:45, 21 April 2008 (UTC)


is a WHO definition not reliable then? ADR and ADE are 100% not the same thing. i am quite capable of editing this article including the lead I'm just unsure how to do citations, links ,graphs, divisions etc <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/134.151.33.86|134.151.33.86]] ([[User talk:134.151.33.86|talk]]) 15:16, 22 April 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
