It is only in recent years that the major drug companies have been forced to list the harmful side effects from using medications. Almost everything that we consume has some sort of side effect, but when you read the warning label on cure all products I wonder why people still use them at all because the cost seems to outweigh any benefits.

Take for example the the Flu Remedy Tamiflu with it’s dozens of awful side effects, seems likely to cause serious damage than cure the ailment. 

Take a look of what you may be in for as your search for relief, and perhaps you will think twice before you take any quick cure medications or even over the counter flu aids.
