Ah yes, side effects are a nice way to deal with this, as it's even true today with modern medicine. Today, rigorous testing is in place to prevent compounds from being used if they are too strong or create undesireable side effects and this often means reducing the dose or including a second (or third+++! for example for cancer treatment) compoud the person needs to ingest to ensure the side effects are managed.

Does the benefit outweigh the problems?

Also, did you know that according to recent research and testing, we can reverse the aging in a body but it creates cancers? Following the previous logic, if we can defeat the cancers we could perhaps expand the human life cycle!
