Dangers of Self Medication

• Pain killers make us addictive. Too much consumption causes ulcer. At later stage, it causes gastric erosion in which blood may ooze out. It also affects kidneys.
• Self medication causes hyper tension.
• Increases heart disease and constipation
• Too many medicines reduce immunity.
• Damages kidneys.
• If a doctor prescribes antibiotics, have it for entire duration. If you stop taking medicines in the middle, then bacteria become resistant to the medicines. Next time when the same medicine is consumed, the effectiveness is reduced.
• Cold and fever are not diseases. They are to fight against micro organisms which enter the body. So avoid taking medicines unnecessarily for cold and fever unless it exceeds the limit.
