A member asked:
When it comes to side effects of medication, how long after ingesting medication should a side effect occur if one were to have a side effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It varies: Some occur immediately, some within days and some within months or sometimes years. There are several types of reactions to medications, hence the variation.
