Side effects of side effects
There is a word which describes the medical treatment which ameliorates the side effects of a primary treatment.
e.g. chemotherapy drugs cause nausea so another drug is proscribed to treat the nausea.
Pertaining only to drugs I think.
The word is in my head somewhere but the passing years take the toll on my ability to recall.

Thank you kind persons.
All the suggested words could possibly apply but are not specific to counteracting medicine's side effects.
The word I am seeking is medicine specific, at least in my mind that is.
Imagined word? Perhaps but I am convinced not.

May you have better luck than I. 3 pharmacists and 3 nurses later, I have diddly.Great idea! Now why didn't I think of thatI think you are correct. There's a tickle in the back of my brain that sometimes brings up the right word. Meanwhile, I plan to ask the next pharmacist I see.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
