Updated: Dec 3, 2023

Introduction:

self medication



self-medication, (without doctor's advice).

Remember self-medication is always harmful to health.

Self medication in Pakistan 🇵🇰


Do you know that Pakistan ranks third in the world in terms of self-medication. About 60% of Pakistanis self-medicate. Because all kinds of medicines are easily available from medical stores here in Pakistan.

Thus, people self-medicate many types of drugs, but most people self-medicate antibiotics, pain-relieving drugs (NSAIDs), sleep or sedative drugs, and gastro-intestinal drugs such as Ryzac, Omega, Roling, etc. are

And here people willingly use antibiotics for allergies and viral infections, even though they don't need antibiotics at all. However, the overuse of antibiotics in Pakistan has led to a lot of antibiotic resistance, especially for typhoid fever and urinary tract infections.

Experiments on People's.


I asked a young man to quit smoking, his answer was, Doctor, I drink Raizak sachets, it does not irritate my chest.

A woman says, "When I have joint pain, I sometimes take a pill of Dichlorin or Voltaren, along with Omega or Nexim 40." This way I don't get stomach ache.


Caution ⚠

Do you know in which disease and for how long are ryzac or nexim or omega or etipro or pain reliever dichlorin or valtrin prescribed? Cases of ulcers, kidney and heart failure have increased dramatically.


Whole Family as a self medication.

If a patient in the family is benefited by a medicine, then these patients advise any member of the family to use the same medicine in case of illness, without knowing what is the cause of the disease of another person.


Effects of self medication.


The number of patients with cardiac and renal failure due to self-medication of Ryzac, Nexim and other drugs of this group and pain relievers Dichlorine or Valtrin or other drugs of this group in heart and kidney wards of hospitals is alarmingly high. It is increasing.


Stop and think!

Just think! where are we going?

Make a rule in your life and stick to it strictly that you will not take any medicine yourself and never let anyone else take it without the advice of a qualified doctor.

And chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol, asthma etc. medicines should be used regularly.

It is the will of the rest of the people to self-medicate or not, unfortunately, the majority of Pakistani patients like to take medicine of their own accord, but are not ready to change their diet or lifestyle. However, more than 80% of diseases can be eliminated or controlled with a good diet and lifestyle. Remember prevention is better than cure, thank you
