Taking a dose of your own medicine is not always a good idea. It
can leave you with a bad stomach at the best and in an emergency ward at the
worst
Got
a headache? Will pop an analgesic. Fever too? An antipyretic will do. Throat
ache? Oh, I need an antibiotic. How many times have you heard people doing
this? If the answer is often, they could well be getting into a habit of
self-medication—like a whole lot of other educated people who feel it is fine
to pop a pill without a doctor’s instructions.
Many
of you may not be aware, but these well-meaning drugs are not without
side-effects and can play havoc with your system if taken without professional
advice. Always see a doctor or pharmacist before popping a pill.
