Avoid Self medication

Many people have a habit of taking medicines on their own. It’s a dangerous practice because we may not be aware of the side effects of these drugs.
It may not be necessary that if any medicines benefit one patient will benefit the other one. To give an example pain killer should not be taken without Doctors Prescription as it may cause severe damage to kidney or liver.
Today I encounter with the same case which is worth mentioning here. One intelligent person was taking pain killer for 7 days continuously without Doctors advise and laded with kidney damage.
In the same way Doctor has advise you medicine specially antibiotics for 5 days, in a particular doses follow it strictly. Please do not deviate from the given time and do not stop the medicine on your won before the course is complete as it may lead to development of resistance of micro organism to this medicine and in future the same medicine will not act.
When the medicine is prescribed 1 tab. 3 times a day means this medicine is active in the blood for 8 hours only.

Stay fit stay healthy !

The anti-oxidants have to come from food sources, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts.
