What Are the Potential Side Effects of Pharmacological Agents on Tissues?
While pharmacological agents can have therapeutic effects, they may also cause side effects that impact various tissues. For instance: - Gastrointestinal Tract: NSAIDs can cause ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding by disrupting the protective lining of the stomach. - Liver: Certain drugs like acetaminophen can cause hepatotoxicity, leading to liver damage. - Kidneys: Nephrotoxic drugs like certain antibiotics can impair kidney function, leading to renal failure.
