Yes, it is possible, in fact even likely that you might suffer a negative side effect from most things your doctor can offer. Medications all have side effects, sometimes of the worst kind. Look at preventing illness with proper diet, exercise, sleep, mental exercise and the care of a chiropractor who can guide you in these.
