How do i tell difference between symptom of condition and the side effect of prescription for condition?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Compare by researchi: It is better to discuss with your doc but their are good web sites like epocrates and webmd where side effects of medications can be compared against symptoms of a disease process. However keep in mind that this is where the experience of the physician comes into play because often it is very difficult to discern the difference.
