      Hi! Well yes- they kill cells which is I suppose a very powerful side effect- and if we’re talking cancer cells- that’s a good thing but normal cells no so much. None of the drugs I have made have ever made it into an animal yet but in drug development that’s usually where the first indications come whether the drug will have serious side effects. Unfortunately a lot of the side effects of powerful drugs you can’t predict and that’s why animal testing for the moment is so pivotal to research development. In the future I hope we can have better models to predict how drugs will behave but for right now this is how things work~ Great question!
