What is a drug cascade?

Good morning, ma'am!

A drug cascade is when a person receives drugs to offset the side effects of another drug

For example, a person receives drug A but it causes undesirable effects, he will be given drug B for that, and so on. For prevention, it is your treatment team (doctor, pharmacist, etc.) that must constantly reassess the appropriateness of the treatments a person is taking.

I hope this has been helpful and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!
