adverse drug effect


Explanation:
While I agree that 'ade' can mean 'goodbye' in Franconia, I think that in the context it is more likely to be an acronym for 'Adverse Drug Effect'.

agree  MMUlr: //blepharedema as adverse effect: http://www.iqb.es/cbasicas/farma/farma04/u007.htm - however, I admit, that it *is* a strange German headline (Asker could maybe say anything about the style of the text??)

neutral  Nicole Schnell: Hm. 1.) The source text is German. 2.) A blepharedema doesn't have adverse drug effects - doesn't make sense
