[edit] Huh?
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.
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. Katherine Tredwell 04:29, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] RADAR
JAMA 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. JFW | T@lk 23:47, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 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? WLU (talk) 13:00, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] 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 —Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])
- You should start by editing the body rather than the lead, and cite reliable sources. 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 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.151.33.86 (talk) 15:16, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
