In recent times, many people have started to use new remedies which are not prescribed by their family doctors. Though sometimes these things can work out of luck, I believe it has more negative consequences on people’s overall health.
Using new medicines without consulting a doctor can have severe consequences such as having new diseases. Taking any kind of medicine without going to a doctor can be harmful for health. Medicines cure health problems, but if someone takes wrong tablets, even right ones with wrong quantity, it can cause harm or often worsen the disease. For example, several studies show that many people had come to their doctors with health problems which was caused by medicines they took on their own without seeing a doctor. Because of that, it is really important to see a specialist and follow their instructions on medicine consumption.
On the contrary, some might argue that open sources like Google or social media can offer good suggestions and people would not have to waste money on seeing a doctor as it’s really expensive in the current economy. According to them, internet or chat GPT have all the data and they can provide cure for illnesses. Some also take advice from social media platforms. For some people these suggestions can work out well, though there is always a high risk.
To conclude, people are trying to find alternative choices rather than going to doctors as it’s really expensive. However, I believe it can lead to severe damage to people’s health; therefore, should avoid doing it.
