Nowadays people around the world are choosing to self-medicate rather than seeing a doctor and using conventional medicine. What are the causes of this change and what effects can be seen as a result?

preplan :- high cost of appointment, a need to perform many

tests

effects:- relief from pain for an instance, high potency

medicines

, harmful for a longer period liver and kidney issues Presently, a large number of

people

are inclined towards taking

medicines

as per their own

instead

of consulting with a

doctor

and taking proper medical procedures.

This

approach has reasons

such

as high cost of

doctors

' appointment and a need to perform many test.

Hence

, it has adverse impact on

people

by shifting them to high potency

medicines

and various organ issues.

To begin

with,

people

nowadays try to medicate themselves because taking an appointment of a

doctor

is a costly affair. To clarify, when

people

have to consult a

doctor

, they need to pay an amount for a specific time and

this

amount is same for every visit.

In addition

, before strating a medicine course for any health issue,

doctors

always require report of certain

tests

and these

tests

are like a burden on

people

. A survey conducted by The Guardian newspaper in March, 2015 in the UK that 65% of

people

left seeing a

doctor

or their procedures because self-medication was a cheaper option.

Consequently

, since

people

start to take medicine without any advice of

doctor

, they may not be able to understand the potency of

medicines

.

As a result

, they become habitual of high doses which harm their health situation in long run.

Moreover

, taking medicine without expert advice may be a reason of organ failure as most of the oral

medicines

are notsuitable for digestive organs.

For example

, taking pain-killers or multivitamins without

doctors

advice can damage liver and kidney. To conclude, though

people

are interested into self-medication, they can save a lot of money from

doctors

' appointments and

tests

;

however

,

this

trend is not a welcoming one as it can cause many health issues and organ failure.
