First step is testing safety. Then you give it to a much larger group to establish the level of effectiveness, since you need a lot of data to establish that. After the effectiveness is established you would declare it safe AND effective.
It seems a lot of people misunderstand that being declared “safe” doesn’t mean it’s effective and being declared “effective” doesn’t mean it’s safe.
For example: water is safe, but it’s not an effective treatment for a heart attack. And dying is an effective treatment for heartburn (it’ll stop it) but it sure as hell ain’t safe.

SMH. Can’t imagine how that’s not obvious.

It’s important to have both.
Heartburn and a heart attack?
No, no. Water and death, the two example remedies.
Ok for everyone’s benefit I’ll spell it out: first water, then heartburn, then heart attack, followed – generally last – by death.
That’s the spirit

If it continues it may be cause for concern BTW
Could turn into some kind of lung infection which would be cause for concern
Maybe not ER but urgent care maybe?
IDK I usually go to the urgent care first because I’m a broke MF and the ER is expensive AF.
