The Risks Of Self-medication by Pharmacy24: 6:56am On Jun 29, 2023 |
Self-medicating with a prescription or over-the-counter medication or other substances can be dangerous. Before taking any medication, it is always best to talk to a medical professional and ensure that the drug is right for you. The risks of self-medication include: 1. Incorrect self-diagnosis. 2. Delays in seeking appropriate medical advice and proper treatment. 3. Potential adverse reactions. 4. Worsening of the condition the individual is trying to self-treat. 5. Dangerous drug interaction. 6. Masking of severe diseases. 7. Risk of dependence and abuse.
