Limit your intake of both prescription and non-prescription drugs: it is not in every situation we reach for drugs or painkillers, most of the times if we listen to our bodies carefully, we will know that either dehydration, stress, malnutrition or lack of quality sleep are behind the pains and symptoms we feel. There are natural remedies that can help in almost every situation (except for organ transplant). Medications should only be the last option when natural remedies don’t work and they must be prescribed by a doctor.
When a doctor prescribes drugs for you, take them according to the prescription: even if your symptoms don’t seems to improve, do not exceed the recommended amount.
Don’t mix Alcohol and drugs: this is a very bad combination, it will cause severe harm and damage to your liver. Paracetamol and alcohol is worse, if you take alcohol and you are prescribed drugs, ask your doctor if you can take alcohol or stop until the medication is finished.
Keep medications and harmful chemicals away from children so that they will not mistakenly take them.
