Also called: Broken bone. A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open or compound fracture. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents, falls or sports injuries. Other causes are low bone density and osteoporosis, which cause weakening of the bones.
Milk Thistle Side Effects. Milk thistle is generally considered safe and well-tolerated, with very few cases of side effects ever reported. The most common side effects arenât serious and include gastrointestinal upset, such as a mild laxative effect.
Use of milk thistle extract is not just limited to those with liver disease. It may help prevent the potential liver-damaging effects of certain medications, such as acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antidepressants, and cholesterol-lowering medications.
