Question

Three reasons why medicine should not be used without consulting a doctor

Answer 1

Answer:

Self-medication is not advisable because it can trigger other medical problems such as drug abuse, further medical complications and poisoning. You may assume that self-medication is good enough for you, and that, you can avoid the doctor and cure well pretty fast.

Answer 2

Answer:

• A medicine can bind to more than one receptor site.
• Thus, a medicine may be toxic for some receptor sites.
• Further, in most cases, medicines cause harmful effects when taken in higher doses than recommended.

• Hence, medicines should not be taken without consulting doctors.
