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.
Existing research shows unclear benefits for the use of milk thistle in acute viral hepatitis, or liver inflammation due to an infection from a virus. Further research is needed to draw conclusions.
