Hispitals and prescription drugs come right after cancers and heart attacks/strokes. Wrongly filled prescriptions account for a high death rate—and believe it or not, so do hospitals.
I’ve personally gone through some serious interaction of drugs as well as side effects and decided about 2 years ago that I’ve had it with prescription drugs because ALL of them have some side effects, even creams and eye drops. I went on natural supplements and lo and behold–I’m back to perfect health…
I am not sure if education would help—for example, how many people realize that muscle relaxers can be addictive? And look at another issue: when you have major surgery, doctors turn to prescribing tons of pain killers freely. A supply of 30 Tylenol-3 for some minor back pain? As long as these doctors do not limit their prscribing and do so after a patient calls in–that long will you have prescription drug addiction…
Yes.. you can abuse any drug weather it is prescribed or not.. There is a rise in youth taking whatever pills they can find..
Some people do not need the medications that they think they do and some doctors should not prescribe certain meds as easily as they do.
Basically if you do not take presciption as directed you can suffer adverse consequences.
