It is always said that an old patient is half doctor, but this notion should not be followed in the present day scenario. With very strong side effects these medicines should be taken with a doctors advice. It so happened once that my aunt happened to take a medicine just for a simple headache. She did not check the compositions in the medicine and she ended up with a severe skin allergy. God save such self-practitioners.
One might think that what is so important in buying medicines. Well Well you have to keep so many things in mind when you go out to buy medicines. Also check the expiry date of the medicines.Even by mistake you happen to take in make sure you rush to the nearest doctor. Sometimes if a medicine prescribed by our doctor is available the Chemist suggests a different one from some other company. Please do check with your doctor first whether it is the right substitute for the one prescribed by him.
