Are There Any Risks Associated with Cardioprotective Agents?
While cardioprotective agents are generally safe, they can have side effects. For instance, dexrazoxane may cause myelosuppression and increase the risk of secondary malignancies. Beta-blockers can cause fatigue and exacerbate asthma, while ACE inhibitors may lead to cough and hyperkalemia. It is crucial to balance the benefits and risks when prescribing these medications.
