    Question Is it a right choice to intake medicines without consulting a doctor?

    Nowadays people get sick frequently because of the unexpected changes in the climate and heavy exposure to the sun! Hence medicines have become a part of our life. Many of us have a habit of taking medicines like Panadol,Amoxcicilin etc. which we think could cure our sickness without being prescribed by a doctor.
    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 ?
    Do what is RIGHT, NOT what is EASY!

    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.
    You're not going to master the rest of your life in one day. Don't stress. Master the day. Make this a daily reminder.

    It is okay to take panadol, amoxcilin for an urgent relieve from the sickness. But if you continue to do this, your body will become impassive to those medicines. So always avoid pain killers. Doctors prescription is always a good choice.
    Let's be the change

    So, you are saying that Panadol and Amoxicillin can be taken without prescription? Is it applicable for everyone??

    Painkillers like panadol can be used without doctors' prescription.Thats why they are permitted to sell without prescription in medical shops. I don't know about amoxcilin, may be you need a prescription as it is an antibiotic.

    Nope, it is not good to have medicine without the advice of the doctors. It may cause for certain liver and kidney diseases. ven we should not have much more panadol in our lives. For some people, panadol has become a part of their lives. Actually, it's not a good thing.
