Local pharmacy mein bahut saare pain killer aur antibiotic easily available hone ki wajah se common health conditions ke treatment ke liye apne aap medicine lena possible hai, hain ki nahin? Hum mein se kaafi logon ne aisa kiya hai! Hum kayi baar self-doctors ban jaate hain. Apart from that, internet ki wajah se hum bina kisi doctor ko dekhe self-treatment karte hain (jo ki dangerous hota hai!) aur khud ko medicine dete hain. Yeh kaafi convenient lagta hai kyunki yeh hospital jaane aur expensive bills se humein save karta hai. Lekin, kya aap jaante hain ki yeh aapke health aur aapke life ko cost kar sakta hai?
Kayi baar hum medical solutions ke liye pharmacist par trust karte hain aur unhein doctor, ya phir doctor ke ek cheap substitute ke form mein dekhte hain, aapko di jaane waali medicines bhale hi safe lagti hon, lekin aisa nahin hai! Aisi over-the-counter (o.t.c) medicines ka misuse aapke health par serious effects daal sakta hain. Pharmacist doctor ki jagah nahin le sakta hai, woh medicines ke sale se apna profit kamaane ke liye dekhte hain, isliye unki baaton mein mat aayein!
Abhi hi nahin, balki for years, log health problems ko jaldi theek karke aur life mein aage badhne ke liye self-medication karte aa rahe hain, jinke liye medicines aksar available hoti hain. Chaahe woh sirf ek crocin ho ( for fever) ya aspirin (for headache), hum believe karte hain ki yeh medicines safe hain aur koi bhi use kar sakta hai. Itna hi nahin, log advertisment dekh kar apne aap hi medicines consume karne lag jaate hain aur doctor se advice bhi nahi lete. Medicine se aapko instant relief toh mil sakta hai, lekin hamein realise nahin hota ki isse side-effects ho sakte hain jo ki aapke health ko aur deteriorate ho sakta hai!
