drug reaction
Body's pharmaceutical response
A drug reaction is any unintended physiological response to a medication, ranging from mild side effects to severe allergic responses.
The term typically implies something negative—a rash, nausea, or anaphylaxis—rather than the drug's intended effect: She developed a drug reaction to the antibiotic.
Adverse drug reaction is the formal medical term.
