No person in this world can live without disease. Everyone has had the disease once or for every lifetime. But it is more important to avoid getting sick than to take medication. However, none of us can get rid of the disease. The following is how to be careful when using medication.

What do you mean by a Medicine?

A drug that changes the physical and mental processes used to cure, prevent, diagnose, or further improve physical fitness. Medications can be used for a specific short period of time or for chronic diseases for a long time (up to a lifetime). Drugs are usually dispensed by the government and only a small amount can be purchased directly from pharmacies and all other medicines must be obtained under the direction of a qualified physician.

Does the same Medicine affect everyone the same way?

The effect of the drug is the same for everyone and the extent of the effect varies from person to person for a variety of reasons. Examples include age, ethnicity, genetic factors, and chronic illness.

·         Age

The time it takes for the drug to leave the body varies with age. Very young infants and the elderly have a longer time to get rid of the drug, and even a very small dose stays in the body longer.

·         Chronic diseases

In people with chronic diseases of the liver and kidneys, the excretion of the drug is reduced, and in patients with diseases of the digestive system, the effect of the drug may be altered by reduced absorption. Also, the effects of medication may be abnormally low or increased in people who regularly consume alcohol.

 

What are the precautions to be taken while using the Medicine?

In particular, the use of drugs can be said to be like a double-edged sword. Severe side effects can occur if the dose is not taken exactly the recommended number of days. Therefore, it is very important to take the prescribed amount of medication. It is also important to try to take the medication at the same time every day, and it is very important to follow it if it is recommended before or after a meal. Never take prescription drugs. Whenever possible you should have an overview of the medication (what it is used for, possible side effects, dosage, etc.) contained in the instruction leaflet that accompanies the medication.

Always check the expiration date of the medication. Expired medications should never be stored. Expired medications should never be stored. Never stop taking the medication without a doctor's advice or continue taking the same medication without a prescription. Avoid taking any other medicine (Ayurveda medicine) without medical advice while using the medicine. A leaflet about the medication and dosage for certain chronic illnesses should be kept with you when you leave home.

Sometimes you may forget to take one dose. In such cases it should be taken as soon as it is remembered without panic. If the next dose is close to that time, the dose should be abandoned.

Avoid taking two doses at once to make up for a forgotten dose. Always remember to label each drug with its dosage.

 

How to avoid side effects and get maximum results from the Medicine?

In particular, you should inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking or have recently taken. For example, vitamins, Ayurveda medicines, medicines that can be obtained directly from pharmacies, as well as medicines for chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure, as well as birth control pills for women.

Also, if you are pregnant or expecting to become pregnant, or if you are a breastfeeding mother, you should inform your doctor if you are consuming special foods on medical advice. And last but not least, the important thing is to let them know if you are having difficulty taking certain medications or if you are allergic to certain medications.

 

What are the considerations when taking medication for children?

Remember to keep all medicines in the medicine packs provided by the manufacturer. Always be sure to read the instructions on the medication in the leaflet. Even if you have already taken some medicine, it is important to read it again before giving it to your child. Because the instructions may change from time to time. When giving medicine to young children, it is often given in liquid form, and the amount of liquid is calculated in milliliters. Doses are usually given in teaspoons or tablespoons, and only the container or spoon that can calculate the volume of liquid provided by the pharmacist should be used. This is because the volume of teaspoons or tablespoons we use at home may not be accurate. Always keep medicines out of the reach of children. Do not overdose without the advice of a doctor, even if the child is seriously ill.

 

Do all Medicine continue to act in the same way? Or do some Medicine slow down?

Such a situation can happen. Over time, some drugs may not work against the disease. Antibiotics are especially effective in treating bacterial infections. Over time, antibiotics can kill some bacteria. For example, there are some bacterial strains that spread tuberculosis. The main reason for this resistance is the overuse of antibiotics, inactive or non-essential diseases, without a roof over their heads. Or it may be that when the antibiotic is needed, the patient does not receive the required amount of medication. It is important to note that even if your symptoms are cured in a few doses when given an antibiotic, taking the recommended number of days will help you to minimize the adverse effects of this resistance on you as well as the next generation. You can also reduce this condition by avoiding taking antibiotics without a doctor's prescription if you have a viral infection. These are just some of the goal setting shareware that you can use with your doctor.
