Medication side effects?

I got new medications and my dentist told me side effects that my pharmacy did not. Where do you go to look up side effects for medications? I also have googled but they do not show all the ones that I have been told either. #lemon8contest #AskLemon8

That has happened to me before. I found the best website ever, and now, even when I get the paperwork from the pharmacy, I still like to look it up. I use drugs.com. I hope it works for you as well
