In the world today,thousands have died as a result of taking expired or fake drugs.Modern drugs have done much to help humanity with different ailment,yet just any drug can cause harmful side effect.
Fake medicines are everywhere and can cause tragic consequences, statistics shows that about 100children died of kidney failure after swallowing painkillers containing industrial solvent.Taking just any medication containing sawdust,coffee and dirt can cause skin infections, there are also supposed medications for fighting malaria and yet thousands still lost their lives as a result of taking fake drugs prescribed by just anyone.
How then can you protect yourself from fake drugs and its harm?
Do not use drugs prescribed by just anyone.
Keep your medications in a cool place and out of children's reach.
Do not use outdated medicines.
By from a reputable source,do not patronize road side sellers and those who sells in buses.
Make sure you read and understand the instructions found in the leaflet of on the label before swallowing.
Many prefer injections to medicines,but it has been known that drugs taken by mouth works just the way injection works.Whatever you are given or prescribed by a medical expert should be taken,note "a medical expert".
Drugs do not answer all health issues though,it is adviceable that you eat good food,rest well,drink enough water each day.
