There's a rather bizarre reason for this. Manufacturer's are required to show as a side effect any reaction which test subjects had while taking the medication, even if it cannot be shown that the medication was responsible! Unless they can show absolutely that the medication did not cause or contribute to the side effect, they must list it. Trying to track down every minor complaint that test subjects make would be prohibitively expensive. It's easier to just record their results as possible side effects.
