This is a very common human tendency that we take many medications without a prescription. Many times for any general bodily problem we take Mox or any aspirin. This usage of medicines without a prescription is called self-medication.

This sort of self-medication often leads to serious health complications. Even educated people also are seen using medicines for infirmities such as body pain, headache, and fever without a doctor’s prescription.

Medicine for self-medication is often called “non-prescription” or over the counter (OTC). Some people self-medicate themselves because of the cash problems. 

The grievance is usually about the high doctor fees, laboratory test and drugs from the hospital. As a result of this people often rely on friends or family for a prescription.

According to doctors self-medication is a very hazardous exercise which can be harmful to your life.

One of the App doctors said that “people engage in self-medication without knowing of their ailment or consequences of drugs.”
He said “people are not fully aware of drugs sold to them.They are a victim of a medical practitioner who wants to enrich themselves”.

Self-medication can cause serious mental problems. The pharmacists and the medical practitioners should charge with the responsibility for giving health-care and medical advice to patients.

“They must engage the people through awareness campaign education and counselling on the proper use of medication,” he added.
