Now thousands of people would rather search for information about diseases on the Internet than make an appointment with a qualified specialist. But in fact, this can be very harmful to your health.

Why is it forbidden to self-medicate?
The drug that you choose yourself and purchase at the pharmacy can cause serious adverse reactions. And this can range from mild dizziness in the head or nausea to irreversible or even fatal consequences.

Also, only a doctor can prescribe you the required dosage of medications and check whether they are compatible with the medications you are already taking.

Another reason for prohibiting self-medication is the acquisition of resistance to treatment. That is, the next time you take the same drug, its effect will gradually decrease or disappear altogether.

Incorrect use of medications due to lack of special professional skills, for example, injection.

The next reason is allergies. In recent years, the number of allergy sufferers in the world has only increased. And drug allergies are quite common. Therefore, when self-medicating, there is a possibility of an allergic reaction and even anaphylactic shock.

The Ministry of Health says that self-medication may be ineffective. As a result, a real problem arises that you do not notice, and the disease becomes chronic.

As a result of incorrect self-prescribed treatment, secondary diseases may develop.

The above risks are only part of them, which you yourself provoke. And it is also worth remembering that only a doctor can prescribe prescription drugs.

Thank you all for your attention...remember these rules.
