What type of side effect may occur in the gastrointestinal system due to medication?

  1. Tardive dyskinesia

  2. Increased heart beat

  3. Nausea and vomiting

  4. Drowsiness

The correct answer is: Nausea and vomiting

Medications can have various side effects on the body, including the gastrointestinal system. Nausea and vomiting are common side effects that can occur due to medication affecting the stomach and intestines. Tardive dyskinesia is a movement disorder usually associated with antipsychotic medications, increased heart rate is a cardiovascular side effect, and drowsiness is a central nervous system side effect. However, for medications affecting the gastrointestinal system, nausea and vomiting are the most likely side effects to occur.
