Painkillers and common mistakes<br /> We all suffer from annoying pain that we have to get rid of, whether these pain is back pain, headache, abdominal pain and may be due to work pressure or change the balance of hormones.<br /> We may use a good friend pain reliever but if this tablet cannot remove the pain , we may not take it properly. We should know how to take painkillers properly otherwise they will not be feasible.<br /> - When a doctor prescribes a pain reliever, it fits the dose that will give the maximum pain relief. Double or triple the dosage does not guarantee more pain relief or faster effect of the tablet. Therefore, changing the dosage may often increase the negative side effects, in fact, in some painkillers, if one tablet does not relieve pain, taking the second and third tablets may completely cancel the work of the first tablet. Enough help you should go to the doctor to consult with him about it, and the condition may need to change the drug.<br /> - Each analgesic is made up of a different active substance and works differently. If there are several types of painkillers at home and we think that a cocktail (or a combination) of them may guarantee pain relief - think about it again. Not only is it possible that you may not feel pain relief, but it may be dangerous and potentially dangerous.<br /> - Often, we buy painkillers without a prescription and without reading the accompanying instruction leaflet, that is, we do not know what to eat. If we mix these drugs with over-the-counter or over-the-counter medications, we may reach the edge of the overdose.<br /> Many people take painkillers without thinking about medications, medicinal herbs, and other supplements they take regularly. Such confusion can disrupt the effectiveness of a drug. For example, aspirin can affect the action of certain medications to treat diabetes, while codeine or oxycodone can block the action of some antidepressants. Therefore, if you take certain medications regularly and you want to take a pain reliever as well, you should check that these medications do not interfere with each other.<br /> Driving under the influence of paracetamol may not seem so bad, but some analgesics can cause confusion, and the reactions or side effects of medications are known to vary from person to person. Some people are very confused and tired under the influence of painkillers. Therefore, they are advised to refrain from driving, even if they take only one tablet (remember ... one tablet is not weaker than two).<br /> - People often share prescription painkillers, from family members to friends to neighbors. We have to realize that not every medicine is suitable for everyone, and this applies more when it comes to prescription drugs. This medicine has been prescribed to treat a specific problem and to a specific person by a doctor who knows him and knows his problem, where he has adapted the medicine and the appropriate dose for the particular problem of that person. What works for some does not work for others, and what works for some kind of pain may not work for another type of pain. You may share your medications with a desire to help, but you may eventually do more harm.<br /> - Not reading the instruction leaflet attached to the drug is one mistake, but it is understandable. When you arrive home you may realize that the instruction leaflet is not clear, and there is no one you can consult with unless you return to the doctor to ask a question and inquire only, and most of us do not, for this is exactly the pharmacist. When you buy pain medication, even if it is not a prescription, read the instruction leaflet while you are in the pharmacy, and if you have any questions - you can ask your pharmacist.<br /> - Many tend to "store" medicines to be at home, at hand when needed. The problem is when these drugs expire, especially if they are stored in inappropriate conditions (such as moisture). Such painkillers are useless and even harmful. When you buy over-the-counter painkillers, carefully check the expiry date, and make sure you do not use expired painkillers.<br /> - Many medicines should be taken as is otherwise they will not be effective, if there is a line in the middle of the disc to cut - the disc should be cut in the line drawn, and if not possible to swallow the tablet in full, if the doctor does not tell you otherwise. When you cut the disc in a place other than the line or the disc where the cut line is not marked, the medicine may not help you as you want, let alone the bitter taste, as you have cut the padded cover of the disc.
