Allopathic medicines used to treat various diseases are a great discovery of this century. Although these medicines are effective and provide quick relief, while eliminating the disease, they can also leave some effects that have nothing to do with the treatment of the disease. These additional and unnecessary effects are called side effects.
Almost all allopathic medicines are associated with various side effects. These effects can be minor and sometimes even fatal. Indiscriminate and unnecessary use of medicines in private practice can pose many risks to human health. Therefore, it is important that various types of allopathic medicines should always be used under the advice of a doctor and the instructions given by the doctor should be kept in mind while using them.
Using medicines without a doctor's advice and on your own is very harmful to your health. The side effects of these medicines can be life-threatening. For example, excessive use of aspirin can cause stomach ulcers.
Shock caused by penicillin and various types of antibiotics can also lead to death. Similarly, taking medications on your own can be a cause of jaundice and kidney stones. The liver is most affected by the unnecessary use of various types of medications. Because the liver acts as the biochemical laboratory of the human body. Therefore, it is important to avoid self-medication and use medications under the advice of a doctor in case of various diseases.
In addition, by using drugs on their own, the patient becomes addicted to them. In the beginning, some drug is taken continuously on its own to relieve pain or anxiety. After that, the body becomes accustomed to this drug and eventually the result is that it becomes difficult to live without it, as happens in heroin addiction.
The thoughtless and unnecessary use of antibiotics, steroids, tranquillisers for minor ailments is very dangerous. This habit may provide temporary relief but later becomes a cause of lifelong problems. Continuous use of these medicines starts damaging the kidneys, liver and other organs of the body. To avoid all these harms, it is better to always take the medicine after consulting a doctor.
