This might cause side effects, especially when you have any allergies or other serious diseases.


What do you think, is it OK to intake such medicines without a doctor's consultation? If not, what would be the side effects ?

We shouldn't take medicine without doctor's prescription,Because we don't know how many dosage we should take for our age and weight.
So it's better to take doctor's advice before taking medicine.And painkillers like panadol is not good for our body.
Over dosage of painkillers can cause kidney and liver damage.
