Imagine taking a drug that is intended to improve a medical condition only to discover that it comes with a multitude of negative side effects. This has been the case with Ketek, a drug known for causing irregular heart beats, jaundice, bloody discharge and hepatitis. However, the most severe of Ketek side effects is its potential to cause liver failure. Liver failure is certainly a severe condition as it can result in premature death.
Even the most "minor" ketek side effects are anything but minor. For example, some may look at dizziness as not being a side effect worthy of concern. (Ketek have been known to cause dizzy spells) After all, can't someone who feels dizzy simply lie down and wait for the dizzy spell to pass? Possibly, but circumstances will dictate a particular response to a certain side effect. For example, if you are driving on the hi-way and experience a dizzy spell you will be in a dangerous situation. This is because the potential for an accident increasing significantly under such circumstances. Additionally, a dizzy spell could prove hazardous multitude of scenarios. So, it is not a "hysterical" assertion that there are no minor side effects associated with Ketek..
But, ultimately, it is the notion of liver damage ad failure that sends chills up and down the spines of those who may have taken the drug. If a liver is damaged a fatality may occur with the only hope of survival being one must undergo a liver transplant. Even then, the odds of survival may prove difficult. As such, Ketek has gained a place in the record books as one of the most dangerous and failed drugs ever released on the market.
