Dozis: Pls can explain u why Emzor paracetamol seems to work for me better than M&B product?? The m&b seems slow and inefficatious to my satisfaction. I've compared the 2. I'm kinda convinced Emzor has more dose of ingredients than m&b |

Theunbothered: Penicillin is actually from a microorganism called Penicillium chrysogenum (renamed as Penicillium rubens) That research aimed at checking if secondary metabolites present in those plants are effective against Antibiotic-resistant microorganisms because recently it has been observed that most of the common antibiotics are no longer working against Antibiotic-resistant microorganisms, that's why nowadays when you're having bacterial infection Doctors will prescribe two different antibiotics for you (just because they know one may not work effectively due to antimicrobial resistance). Very soon most of these antibiotics won't work again hence the need to divert attention to some medicinal plants that can be used to produce drugs with better mode of action. Although, before these plants can be used for medicine, they will be subjected to toxicology tests and some other essential tests before being used to produce drugs that are safe for human use. The research is not in any way supporting the use of Agbo (local herbs) because you can't measure their dosage and apart from that, not every secondary metabolite present in those plants are useful, some are also harmful. So the research is just a clarion call to other scientists to see the potentials of those plants in developing drugs that can fight resistant-microorganism. 1 Like |

Oyinladephilip: I confused penicillin with aspirin. We are essentially saying the same thing, we know plants have medicinal properties but these local herbal medicine sellers don't do any proper research, just hearsay and trial and error. That's why I am against them. 1 Like |

Dozis:I've been using coke to take my drugs since I was little. Can't even remember the last time I took drugs with water. I hate drugs so much. I hold my breath when taking drugs and I always wash my hands after. I hate the sight of drugs. Especially the yellow ones. |

danilmo:Just like I replied someone earlier, some people prefer M&B over Emzor paracetamol, most times the issue is more psychological than pharmacological, maybe your mind is already wired that Emzor works better for you than M&B. 1 Like |

Lifeisnotajungl:It all depends on where the drug fail, if it falls on a clean and polished ground I will pick it and take it but if it falls in an unwholesome environment, I will pick another. Apart from hygienic reasons, I don't see anything wrong with picking a drug that fail inside my well cleaned and tiled room. |

joyandfaith:No pharmacist has the right to change a doctor's prescription unless the life of the patient is in danger and even at that you must consult the prescriber first and explain why you will not dispense these drugs, for me if a doctor writes a particular brand I dispense that brand, if I don't have I will tell the patient that I don't have that particular brand but I have it's equivalent, so ask your doctor if I can give the brand that I have. All things being equal, every brand approved by the regulatory body is supposed to exert same pharmacological effects. |

Dozis:I have been experiencing a great discomfort on my upper left abdomen. Sometimes this culminates in back ache at that side. Once i tried to find out via Google and i saw something like enlarged pancreatitis and some other info here and there. I take alcohol socially (Very moderately).... So i really want to be informed professionally. What it is, probable cause(s), remedy etc.. Thanks in anticipation. |
