Therapeutic outcomes arising from adverse drug reactions

Abstract

Summary This article examines five cases where unintended adverse reactions have led to new therapeutic outcomes. The cases cover subsequent applications of acetylsalicylic acid, sildenafil, thalidomide, domperidone, and disulfiram. These examples demonstrate the versatility of drugs in addressing diverse medical challenges. The discussion highlights the importance of analyzing adverse drug reactions to identify therapeutic opportunities arising from adverse reactions.
