Abstract:
Medicines today are powerful chemicals that are more effective than ever before. Used carefully they can work wonders. However, both prescription and over-the-counter (nonprescription) medicines can create
problems, especially if misused or abused. You probably try to find out about movies and restaurants before going to them, how to use new appliances, and what to do if a product does not work well. It’s
even more important to get good information about your medicines. Protect your health—be knowledgeable about the drugs you take.
