Medicines
Everyone knows what medicines are for - to make you feel
comfortable when you are sick. But a lot of people don't
realize that all medicines have risks as well as profits.
The jeopardy of medicines includes unwanted side effects
or interactions with food or further medicines you may
be taking. Some risks are not very stern, like a distress
stomach. Others, like liver damage, are further serious.
When a medicine's profits outweigh its identified risks,
the U.S. Food and Drug management consider it safe enough
to approve. Both prescription and over-the-counter medicines
ought to be approved before they can be sold in the
U.S.
To lessen the risk of a problem, follow the directions
vigilantly when taking medicines. Make sure that your
health care provider knows all of the medicines and
supplements you are utilizing. Also, make certain to
mention if you are pregnant or nursing. A few medicines
can hurt your baby.
