Effects of Self Prescription

Effects of self prescription

Self medication is the act of taking drugs without doctor's prescription. It can be dangerous to your health because you may not take the needed prescription (below dose) or you take an overdose of the medicine.

• Consistent use of unprescribed drugs can cause antibiotics resistance. That's why you use drugs and you still don't feel fine.
• Most drugs causes serious side effects some can be as a result of counter interaction with other medicine.
• It can lead to death. Self diagnosis can cause misdiagnosis, generalising symptoms can make you take the wrong drugs.
•  Unprescribed drugs can cause condition relapse.

Stop self medicating. If you doubt your doctor's diagnosis and prescriptions you can always seek a second medical opinion.
