Limitrophe and unexpected side effects

Today’s word of the day is limitrophe, meaning situated on the borders or on the frontier line (of another country, region, or other geographic feature). As in, “The Parthian Empire was limitrophe with India and possibly his authority extended beyond the Indus.”

Today’s list of the day is “possible side effects may include,” a sometimes joking list of unexpected medicinal complications.
