OTC Drugs : Easily Accessible But Are You Knowledgeable?
"Apir tayo, sumakit ang ulo ko!"
Anong gamot ang iinumin ko?
Alaxan, Biogesic, Bio-flu, Neozep and Medicol. Just to name a few.
Sounds Familiar, right? These are the commonly used and abused Over-the-counter Drugs in our daily lives.
OTC drugs are readily available at any pharmacy store because these medications require no prescriptions. Although they are proven to be safe and effective, people usually take these OTC drugs simultaneously oblivious to the fact that they contain the same active ingredient.
However, just because everyone else is doing it, do you think it’s right?
Did you know that these shouldn't be taken simultaneously and at higher amounts may cause toxic effects?
Are you one of the people who commit one of the most common errors mentioned above?
Are you aware of the possible risk and harm that these medications can do to your body?
Sometimes, once is enough, twice is too much. What works for others, won't always work for you.
Worry no more peepz, as we got you! We are here to help you to be more knowledgeable about these easily accessible medicines
