Unnecessary side effects can occur for several reasons, including:
Dosage Errors: Incorrect dosing of medications can lead to severe side effects that might have been avoided with proper monitoring. Lack of Personalized Treatment: Treatment plans that are not tailored to the individualâs genetic makeup, lifestyle, and overall health can lead to side effects that are not necessary. Inadequate Supportive Care: The absence of sufficient supportive care measures, such as nutritional support and pain management, can exacerbate side effects. Outdated Protocols: Utilizing older treatment protocols when newer, less toxic options are available can result in unnecessary side effects.
