etomidate has terrible side-effects and I think it has to be effaced

To find out about documented side effects or safety concerns read either the drug label or the drug's package insert. You may also want to speak with your pharmacist or healthcare provider. All medicines have benefits and risks. The risks are the chances that something unwanted or unexpected could happen to you when you use them. You can protect yourself by searching summaries of recent safety alerts, adverse reports. Sometimes there are risks that only come to light after a medical product gets on the market and is used in a larger number of patients, for a longer period of time, and in patients whose health characteristics are different from those of the patients studied before approval.

Be aware of the following potential Etomidate risks to be aware of: 1. Watch for any Serious adverse events, such as life-threatening situation, which can require an admission to hospital or longer-than-expected hospital stay, permanent disability, birth defect, miscarriage, stillbirth, or birth with serious disease requires medical care to prevent permanent damage
2. Any potential Etomidate quality problem: suspected counterfeit product, potentially contaminated product indicated by suspicious odor or unusual color, inaccurate or unreadable product labeling
3. Potential Etomidate use error: mixing up products with similar drug names or packaging, taking wrong dose of a drug because of confusing dosing instructions on label
