To use Medicines all you should know before using it,Misuse of medicines can cause damage to our body

All of us take medicines when we fall sick. Misuse of medicines can cause damage to our bodies. When you fall sick, always keep in mind the following guidelines:
  • If you fall sick, do not take any medicine on your own: consult a doctor. Do not take medicines prescribed for someone else who is suffering from the same type of disease.
  • Inform your doctor of any other medicines you may be taking because some medicines, when taken together can be harmful. always ask your doctor for possible side effects, if any.
  • Buy medicines from a reputed chemist only. Insist on a bill even if you are buying a simple headache tablet.  Examine the medicine thoroughly, paying special attention to the seal and expiry date.
  • Carefully check the name of the medicine you buy. At times spurious drugs are available in the market with similar-sounding names.
  • Medicines with almost similar names can be for totally different diseases. check carefully that you are buying what the doctor prescribed.
  • If a particular medicine is not available, do not purchase an alternative medicine on the advice of the chemist, consult your doctor.
  • Once you have opened the bottle, and if you find the capsules/tablets are broken or syrup is lumpy or discolored, do not use it, report it to the manufacturer.
  • At night always switch on the light when you give/take medicines with water or as advised by the doctor.
  • Take the full course of medicines as prescribed by the doctor. If you feel that medicine is having no effect, report it to your doctor.
  • Don't transfer medicines/syrups to unmarked bottles. Keep medicines in their original packaging, destroy empty packs and bottles of used medicines. This will help prevent them from been recycled by unscrupulous elements.
  • Store medicines out of reach of children. Clean your medical shelf periodically and throw away expired medicines.  

Remember, self-medication can damage your body; avoid it
at last, be healthy, be cool
