Description
Drugs can treat diseases and relieve symptoms. But they can also have side effects. Improper use of drugs can do more harm than good, and even lead to serious consequences. Therefore, everybody should know more about drug safety, and follow the advice of their doctor or pharmacist while using drugs. As the elderly are more prone to side effects like stomach bleeding, they should be extra cautious, and avoid taking too many drugs unnecessarily.
