Yeah,Nothing in this globe is perfectly safe. Even drinking too much water can kill you. Newspapers contain several sad accounts of people dying of water overdose, many of them a result of drinking competitions, extreme child discipline, or fad diets. For instance, Jennete Killpack was sent to prison for killing her daughter by forcing her to drink large amounts of water as a punishment. In a separate case, Jennifer Strange died of water overdose while participating in a water drinking contest sponsored by a local radio station. Drinking high levels of water leads to a potentially lethal condition known as "water intoxication" or "dilutional hyponatremia". In this condition, the excess water dilutes the sodium in the body down to dangerously low concentrations, leading the brain to take up water and swell to the point of failure. In this way, even a substance that is considered one of the least toxic in the world can kill you. The same concept applies to everything we eat, drink, breath, and touch. Even the oxygen we breath, which is essential to life, can cause intoxication and death when breathed at high pressure.
My point is not to scare you into being afraid of everything around you. My point is to show that requiring a pill to be perfectly safe before ingesting it is pointless, since nothing is perfectly safe. A better approach is to choose the pill, food, or drink that is the safest choice. Drinking too much water may kill you, but drinking no water at all will also kill you. The safest alternative is to drink a moderate amount of water. Although "perfectly safe" does not exist, some options are typically "relatively safe" compared to the other options. The best approach is to choose the course of action which maximizes the long-term benefits while minimizing the long-term risks. For example, a pregnant woman with uncontrollable vomiting (hyperemesis gravidarum, which is different and more severe than morning sickness) is faced with the choice of taking antiemetic medication such as promethazine. While taking antiemetic medication carries certain risks, not taking the medicine carries an even greater and very real risk of dying of dehydration from all of the vomiting (the author Charlotte Bronte is believed to have died of dehydration caused by hyperemesis gravidarum). In this case, the course of action with the least risk and the most benefit is typically taking the antiemetics. In contrast, a pregnant woman that only has standard morning sickness is not at risk of dying from dehydration. For such women, taking the antiemetics becomes the riskiest course of action and gives little long-term benefit. For this reason, doctors do not usually prescribe antiemetics to women with standard morning sickness.
As should be obvious at this point, you can't label some substances as always safe, and other substances as always dangerous. The situation is more complicated than that.
