What Are the Side Effects of Medications on Tissues?
Side effects of medications can often be observed through histological examinations. For example, long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can lead to gastrointestinal tissue damage, seen as ulcers or erosions under the microscope. Similarly, statins, used for lowering cholesterol, can cause muscle tissue damage, observed as myopathy in histological samples.
