In United States safety standards, precautionary statements are sentences providing information on potential hazards, and proper procedures. They are used in situations from consumer product on labels and manuals, to descriptions of physical activities. Various methods are used to bring focus to them, such as setting apart from normal text, graphic icons, changes in text's font and color. Texts will often clarify the types of statements and their meanings within the text. Common precautionary statements are described below.

In medicine, most medications can be safely used with other medicines, but particular combinations of medicines need to be monitored for interactions, often by the pharmacist. In molecular biology, the knowledge on gene/protein interaction among themselves and with their metabolites is referred to as molecular pathways. Interactions between medications (drug interactions) fall generally into one of two main categories: 1. pharmacodynamic : Involving the actions of the two interacting drugs. 2. pharmacokinetic : Involving the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of one or both of the interacting drugs upon the other. In terms of efficacy, there can be three types of interactions between medications: additive, synergistic, and antagonistic. Additive interaction means the effect of two chemicals is equal to the sum of the effect of the two chemicals taken separately. This is usually due to the two chemicals acting on the body in the same way. Examples would be Aspirin and Motrin, Alcohol and Depressant, Tranquilizer and Painkiller. Synergistic interaction means that the effect of two chemicals taken together is greater than the sum of their separate effect at the same doses. An example is Pesticide and Fertilizer, the biological effect is devastating. Antagonistic interaction means that the effect of two chemicals is actually less than the sum of the effect of the two drugs taken independently of each other. This is because the second chemical increases the excretion of the first, or even directly blocks its toxic actions. Antagonism forms the basis for antidotes of poisonings.

In medicine, an adverse effect is a harmful and undesired effect resulting from a medication or other intervention such as surgery. An adverse effect may be termed a "side effect", when judged to be secondary to a main or therapeutic effect, and may result from an unsuitable or incorrect dosage or procedure, which could be due to medical error. Adverse effects are sometimes referred to as "iatrogenic" because they are generated by a physician/treatment. Some adverse effects only occur only when starting, increasing or discontinuing a treatment. Using a drug or other medical intervention which is contraindicated may increase the risk of adverse effects. Adverse effects may cause medical complications of a disease or procedure and negatively affect its prognosis. They may also lead to non-compliance with a treatment regimen. The harmful outcome is usually indicated by some result such as morbidity, mortality, alteration in body weight, levels of enzymes, loss of function, or as a pathological change detected at the microscopic, macroscopic or physiological level. It may also be indicated by symptoms reported by a patient. Adverse effects may cause a reversible or irreversible change, including an increase or decrease in the susceptibility of the individual to other chemicals, foods, or procedures, such as drug interactions. In clinical trials, a distinction is made between adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs). Generally, any event which causes death, permanent damage, birth defects, or requires hospitalization is considered an SAE.[1] The results of these trials are often included in the labeling of the medication to provide information both for patients and the prescribing physicians.

Complication, in medicine, is an unfavorable evolution of a disease, a health condition or a medical treatment. The disease can become worse in its severity or show a higher number of signs, symptoms or new pathological changes, become widespread throughout the body or affect other organ systems. A medical treatment, such as drugs or surgery may produce adverse effects and/or produce new health problem(s) by itself. A new disease may also appear as a complication to a previous existing disease. Therefore, a complication may be iatrogenic, i.e., literally brought forth by the physician. Medical knowledge about a disease, procedure or treatment usually entails a list of the most common complications, so that they can be foreseen, prevented or recognized more easily and speedily. Depending on the degree of vulnerability, susceptibility, age, health status, immune system condition, etc. complications may arise more easily. Complications affect adversely the prognosis of a disease. Non-invasive and minimally invasive medical procedures usually favor fewer complications in comparison to invasive ones. Examples of complications * Generalized septicemia (infection of the blood) may occur as a complication of an infected wound or abscess * Allergic shock can be a reaction to several kinds of anesthetics, as a complication in a surgery * Fractured ribs and sternum may be a complication of cardiopulmonary resuscitation attempts in people suffering severe osteoporosis * Puerperal fever may be a common complication of childbirth and used to kill a large proportion of mothers before the advent of antisepsis and antibiotics * Diabetes mellitus may present a series of complications in an advanced or more severe stage, such as gangrene, diabetic foot, blindness, infections, etc. * Thrombosis in the heart or brain, causing stroke or acute myocardial infarction can be complications of blood coagulation disorders, phlebitis (inflammation of the veins), endocarditis and artificial heart valves * Eczema vaccinatum is a rare and severe complication of smallpox vaccination in people with eczema * Hepatotoxic dementia is a possible complication of hepatitis and liver cirrhosis * Mental retardation is a common complication of untreated hydrocephalus * A paradoxical reaction to a drug; that is, a reaction that is the opposite to the intended purpose of the drug. An example is benzodiazepines, a class of psychoactive drugs considered minor tranquilizers with varying hypnotic, sedative, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant effects; paradoxically they may also create hyperactivity, anxiety, convulsions etc. in susceptible individuals. [1] * Erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence are prevalent to prostatectomy.

Kontraindikacija je stanje ili čimbenik koji govori protiv neke mjere. Najčešće se koristi u medicini u odnosu na čimbenike koji povećavaju rizik uključen u uzimanje nekog lijeka, provedbu medicinskih postupaka ili provedbu određenih aktivnosti. Neke kontraindikacije su apsolutne, što znači da ni pod kojim uvjetima ne treba poduzeti neka djelovanja. Na primjer, dojenčetu s visokom temperaturom nikad se ne smije dati aspirin radi rizika od Reyeovog sindroma, a osoba s anafilaktičkom alergijom na hranu nikad ne smije jesti hranu na koju je alergična. Slično, osoba s hemokromatozom ne smije primiti preparate željeza. Druge kontraindikacije su relativne, što znači da pacijent ima veći rizik od komplikacija, ali taj rizik mogu nadvladati druga razmatranja ili se može smanjiti drugim mjerama. Na primjer, trudnica treba izbjegavati X- zrake, ali rizik može biti puno manji nego rizik od nedijagnosticiranja ili liječenja opasnih stanja kao što su tuberkuloza ili slomljena kost. Relativne kontraindikacije mogu se odnositi i na upozorenja, kao što je British National Formulary.

Una contraindicación (pronunciada como contraindicación) es una condición o factor que habla contra cierta medida. Principalmente se utiliza en medicina, en cuanto a los factores que aumentan los riesgos de usar un medicamento en particular, llevando a cabo un procedimiento médico o participar en una actividad en particular. Algunas contraindicaciones son absolutas, lo que significa que no hay ninguna circunstancia razonable para la realización de un curso de acción. Por ejemplo, un bebé con fiebre nunca debe ser dado aspirina debido al riesgo del síndrome de Reye, y una persona con una alergia a un alimento anafiláctica nunca debe comer los alimentos que son alérgicas. Del mismo modo, una persona con hemocromatosis no debe ser administrado hierro preparados. Otras contraindicaciones son relativas, lo que significa que el paciente está en mayor riesgo de complicaciones, pero que estos riesgos pueden ser superados por otras consideraciones o mitigados por otras medidas. Por ejemplo, una mujer embarazada normalmente debe evitar que los rayos x, pero el riesgo puede ser mucho menor que el riesgo de no diagnosticar o ser capaz de tratar una afección grave como la tuberculosis o un hueso roto. Contraindicaciones relativas pueden también ser contemplados como precauciones, tales como en el British National Formulary.

An intraocular lens (IOL) is an implanted lens in the eye, usually replacing the existing crystalline lens because it has been clouded over by a cataract, or as a form of refractive surgery to change the eye's optical power. It usually consists of a small plastic lens with plastic side struts, called haptics, to hold the lens in place within the capsular bag inside the eye.[citation needed] IOLs were traditionally made of an inflexible material (PMMA), although this has largely been superseded by the use of flexible materials. Most IOLs fitted today are fixed monofocal lenses matched to distance vision. However, other types are available, such as multifocal IOLs which provide the patient with multiple-focused vision at far and reading distance, and adaptive IOLs which provide the patient with limited visual accommodation.

Una lente intraocular (IOL) es una lente implantada en el ojo, generalmente reemplazando el cristalino existente porque ha sido enturbiado por una catarata, o como una forma de cirugía refractiva para cambiar la potencia óptica del ojo. Generalmente consiste en un pequeño lente plástico con puntales laterales de plástico, llamado haptics, para sostener la lente en su lugar dentro de la bolsa capsular dentro del ojo.[la citación necesitó] Lio tradicionalmente fueron hechas de un material flexible (PMMA), aunque esto ha sido superado en gran medida por el uso de materiales flexibles. Mayoría lio montadas hoy se fijan las lentes monofocales coincide con la visión a distancia. Sin embargo, otros tipos están disponibles, tales como las LIO multifocales que proporcionan al paciente con visión múltiple-enfocado a distancia lejana y de la lectura y lio adaptativas que proporcionan al paciente con alojamiento visual limitada.
