Avoid self prescription of drugs

 According to a recent report published there is increasing incidents of self treatment by people popping pills frequently।

The side effects and long term damage to body is overlooked।Even doctors prescribe wrong medicines in hurry and dont tell about side effects ।Any medicine has benefit as also harm।When benefits are more than likely harm (always in few percent of drug consumers) medicines are given or when life is threatened।

People try to pop pills buying from shops though these are not otc drugs।

Some most common abuse is frequently taken

1 aspirin

2 antibiotics

3 tinidazole 

4 combiflam

5 crocin

6 cortesteroid ointments for skin 

7 Antacids

8 throat lozenges

Avoid using frequent and unnecessary use of medicines without prescriptions

For example there is little evidence that aspirin avoids heart risks in younger and most people।But it may cause blood thinning and bleeding in stomach

Combiflam has one banned drug।It is not used for headaches।

In usa alone 2 lac people die of wrong medicines or side effects annually।

Frequent use of antibiotics cause drug resistance and in actual infection wont work effectively।
