Every time I read about any medicine I find that it has a lot of side effects unfortunately!! Therefore I'm afraid to take the risks :/

Before answering your question, I want to reassure you that many of the written side effects are rare and must not prevent you from taking your pills. Many others are not serious side effects. Your doctor knows the important and the frequent side effects of the drugs and he can explain them for you.
Any drug (even the most used paracetamol) has lots of side effects. This is why drugs must not be used unless needed.
Before taking the drug, we must weigh the benefits and risks. This assessment can only be done by the doctor who will give the needed treatment for a specific problem.
The most unappropriately used drugs are antibiotics. Those are even prescribed by your neighbors. This is a very dangerous habit.
Remember to consult your physician before taking any medication.
