It happens like this: a person feels bad, something hurts, and he already reaches for the first aid kit, chooses the medications that seem to him to be the most suitable.
There is an opinion among people that the more vitamins the body receives, the better. But almost always the uncontrolled use of certain medications leads to undesirable results. Vitamins should be taken only as prescribed by a doctor! And in general, if a person is healthy, then the best source of vitamins for him is food rich in vitamins.
Very often there are diseases associated with the uncontrolled use of certain medications. With a slight rise in temperature, people begin to use antibiotics - tetracycline, penicillin (to reduce the temperature). Not having antipyretic properties and prescribed randomly, in inappropriate dosages, they do not alleviate the patient’s condition, but can lead to the formation of increased sensitivity to them in the body (allergies). In the future, if any serious illness occurs, when, due to real necessity, an antibiotic to which there is increased sensitivity is used, a severe allergic reaction may occur - anaphylactic shock (the most common cause of shock is penicillin). This reaction develops very quickly, within a few minutes. The patient experiences a sharp drop in cardiac activity, an attack of suffocation, loss of consciousness, and convulsions. In the absence of immediate medical attention, death from anaphylacticActual shock may occur within a few hours.
Insufficient doses and “shortened courses” of treatment with antibiotics or sulfonamides, which contribute to the addiction of bacteria (microbes) to the drug, also cause great harm to the human body. This happens because the medicine does not kill them, but only slows down their growth. And if treatment is stopped prematurely, the growth of microbes increases again, an exacerbation occurs, and the pathogens become less sensitive to this drug. A few more words about the dangers of self-medication with herbs, especially those purchased at the market. You can often hear advice from a “knowledgeable” person about the “excellent” effect of this or that medicinal plant. You need to know and remember that the use of medicinal herbs is strictly individual. Therefore, medicinal plants should be purchased in pharmacies and used as prescribed by a doctor.
