What Makes Prescription Drugs Unsafe?

5/10/2021

Picture
​Each prescription has risks for dangerous effects, sometimes severe ones. Medical professionals think about the expected benefits and dangers to every patient before endorsing medicines. When doctor-prescribed medications are abused, they can be similarly just about as risky as illegally-made drugs.
  1. Personal Information
    Before prescribing a medication, healthcare providers take note of an individual's weight, how long they've had the prescription, other ailments, and if they take different medicines. Somebody abusing prescription drugs may over-burden their system or put themselves in danger for risky medication interaction that can cause coma, seizures, or even death.

  2. Form and Dose
    Doctors know the amount of time it requires for a capsule or pill to break down in the stomach, discharge medications in the bloodstream, and arrive at the brain. When abused, prescription medicines are sometimes taken in more considerable sums or manners that change how they work in the brain and body. 

    It places the individual at serious risk for overdose.

    For instance, for individuals who abuse OxyContin by crushing and inhaling the pills, a dose that takes effect in 12 hours hits the nervous system instantly. It can increase the risk for overdose and addiction.

  3. Side Effects
    Prescription medications are intended to treat a particular condition or illness. Yet, they frequently influence the body in other forms, some of which can be uncomfortable, and other times, perilous. These are termed side effects. Side effects can be riskier when prescription medications are not taken as instructed or are mixed with different substances.

How Prescription Drugs are Misused
  • Taking another person's prescribed drug, regardless of whether it is for a clinical explanation (for example, to ease pain, remain conscious, fall asleep).
  • Popular practices would be mixing it with liquor or certain different medications. Your pharmacist can discuss with you the drugs you can safely take with your prescribed medications.
  • Taking the prescribed medication to get "high."

Conclusion
Prescription medications can be dangerous if not used properly, but they can also be expensive. Make sure to add Prescription Drug plans to your Medicare advantage premium for more benefits! You'll be saving in expenses for other healthcare services. If you haven't yet, contact your insurance company and discuss with them the process to begin.
