Drugs, irrespective of the positivity the give, are very much harmful and toxic to the body when taken without adequate prescription, and it could destroy an individual's overall life without remedy. Not to make you scared though but these mediation you see in a daily basis, have serious and life threatening effects on the body when taken without control.

If you're the type that self medicate, then this post is for you.

Self medication is an act of independently administering medication to oneself without the doctors prescription or supervision. This particular act has caused the lives of many people and it is still killing people out there, and making a lot of people become useless to the community and country. Self mediation could cause the following to an individual:

Self medication can cause kidney disease.

It can cause liver problems

It can lead to overdose which will inturn lead to death if no treated immediately

It can lead to addiction

It can lead to lose of brain function.

It can lead to low immunity (excess malaria drugs)

It could cause Congenital abnormalities
And many more.

It is important to go to a doctor for check up when having a headache or any health deviation from normal, to know what exactly is wrong with you, instead of using paracetamol independently. Headache can be caused by many disease conditions, including underlying disease conditions too.

When some people come to the ward, they will pay close attention to the medication in which the doctor used for their treatment and after they are discharged, they will tend to keep taking that medication if they notice any change to their body.

Doing such could put you at risk of many other disease, because the doctor weighed many other factors before prescribing any medication to you. Doctors are trained for many years so that they could learnt the art of health and wellbeing and as such, taken good care of the patients in their overall health. Doctors prescribe medications by checking diverse factors such as: age, weight, allergy, Body mass and many other factor.

In conclusion, self medication is something that is very harmful to the health and wellbeing of an individual, and it could cause the life of anyone who indulge in the act.
