Some drugs have chiral carbon atoms and so can exist as two optical isomers. There are well documented examples of this causing problems. Write on one such drug, including: name and formula of drug draw diagrams to show the two optical isomers for what condition was this drug prescribed, and was it effective? what side-effects did this drug produce? what lessons can be learned from this?
