Actually, "effective" should be a false friend for "efectivo", since we should say "eficaz" or "eficiente" (this one for people). But it's very common to say, for instance:
Este medicamento es muy efectivo (though we should say "eficaz", instead of efectivo) http://www.elcastellano.org/diezerr.html Edit: Perikles' examples are OK |

All too correct. However, if you talk to anyone who speaks Spanish, most will say that efectivo is synonym of eficaz. No? |

Then again, is should not be a false friend.
