Medical
English term or phrase: Adverse Experiences
One of the items that has to be entered on to a computer for medical research. Unfortunately it is not quite clear if these adverse experiences only relate to the reaction to a certain medication, so I don't really want to use "Nebenwirkungen". Would anyone have a suggestion? Thanks

nachteilige Effekte
Explanation:
It just so happens that I'm doing a translation on a similar subject and in my text "adverse effects" and "adverse experience" are used interchangeably.

For "adverse effects", I found the following reference on the Internet:

"Das DAERI-Projekt (Database of Adverse Events Related to the Internet) ist eine Datenbank zur Fallbeschreibung nachteiliger Effekte durch das Internet, initiiert von der Arbeitsgruppe Cybermedizin und E-Health der Abteilung für Klinische Sozialmedizin der Universität Heidelberg."

I might actually use Johanna's "unangenehme Begleiterscheinungen" if ever the need arises to clearly distinguish between the two of them ...

Nebenwirkungen


Explanation:
I read this to mean the same as "adverse effects" which is Nebenwirkungen.

In contrast, "Kontraindikationen" are existing medical conditions that prevent you from taking a specific type of medication.

Explanation:
I'm getting confused here with the different types of adversity - whenever I'm talking about "adverse effects", I actually mean "adverse events" - just for clarification.
