Self Medication

Self medication has always been a part of normal practice in human life from the ancient times. Such hollow practice is supposed to be a baseless and doubtful attitude. It has never been appreciated, for the fact that, it may induce severe effects on human body.

There is a fundamental difference between medical prescribing and self-medication. A qualified doctor is well trained about the symptoms and their causes, so he basically concentrates on symptoms as well as its causes. It would be difficult for an unqualified prescriber to investigate the basic causes. Essentiality must be given to the causes and secondly to the symptoms.

Advertisement on Television, newspapers and other pharmaceutical publications have improved the rate of self-medication.

Self-medication may treat the symptoms but not its causes. It may cause complexities if some internal disease is growing inside. It may be concluded that self-medication or prescribing of an unqualified doctor can induce severe effects on human body.
