Before we move on to discuss what we have today though, we would like to acknowledge all our loved ones and supporters who have been with us thus far. Today we want to have a brief discussion on over the counter medication.

Why you shouldn’t develop the habit of buying over the counter

---

As human as we are we always want short-cuts and are almost always in a hurry, this has been made worse with the advent of technology, now people hate the idea of visiting the hospital so much because they may have to wait in queues and have series of tests done before they may be administered any form of treatment

And so they would rather go to the pharmacy and tell their symptoms for a quick fix. Some even decide to go to Google to read their symptoms and the possible diagnosis and then find drugs for themselves. A typical case of self treatment and we would like to call it.

And so they do it once and it works, twice and it still works and they start to feel like Doctors, they believe that after all everything can be found on the internet and can thus take care of their own self and that they do not need anyone for that matter.

Forgetting that someone has spent over 6 years studying anatomies, physiologies, drug interactions etc to be able to take of you properly at the hospital and these guides in taking care of patients are there for our own care and safety. You certainly would like any Doctor to do trial and error with you?

Now when these individuals get to a point where things ain’t no longer working with their drugs and symptoms worsen with time they now rush to the Hospital and even that they fail to bring out the entire history of their self medication.

This not only makes things difficult for your physician to give you the best form of care and tratement but also put you at risk for different drug interactions and overdose even. It’s quite unfortunate that most often when they decide to go to the hospital too it often almost too late.

This is a very bad situation to be in but it happens often too because these microbes are some of the most intelligent creatures on the planet earth and once they notice u make even the slightest mistake they take advantage to conquer your system.

And so it is pertinent that for the sake of our own health, we make the effort to do better with ourselves and seek the necessary care using the right protocols and channels that we may continue to be healthy and stay healthy.
