Communities must be observant in choosing the drug to be used, because it will affect the safety and health. Drugs can be as a healer but also as bearers of disastrous.

Drugs can turn into poison if its use is not appropriate. For that, we need a doctor’s advice not just for hard drugs but also in the use of drugs are sold freely.

There are various kinds of drugs from medicinal syrups, injectable drugs, drug suction spray, drops, drug infusion, suppositories and topical medications.

“No matter how light that drug is, it would still have side effects,” said dr. Handrawan Nadesul, in the health care information event of Journalists PfizerPress Circle Class with the theme ‘Use Drugs in Society’ held at Hotel Sahid, Jakarta.

According to Handrawan, there are two kinds of health care medicine, which is symptomatic medications, which serves to reduce complaints and symptoms, as well as curative medicine, drugs that eradicate the roots of disease and the key to healing.

Frequent use of drugs is wrong and not appropriate because the communication between doctor and patient, and patients with a pharmacy that is less established, it is also possible due to carelessness of the medical side. Problems that arise are usually due to drug side effects, intolerance, addiction, and drug interactions themselves.

Individual drug, that means depending on the condition of each patient’s body. The same drug with the same dose for the same disease, not necessarily respond the same body. For example, red eyes can not be treated with the same drug, because there are different kinds of eye diseases that cause irritation of red depending on the cause.

dr. Handrawan Nadesul gave some health information about that there are some natural health care things that were wrong about drug use, namely:

1. The same complaints and symptoms do not necessarily have the same drug.
2. Generic drug is not the second.
3. Drug prices does not determine quality.
4. Continuing his own use of drugs for chronic diseases.
5. The more effective a drug is considered a great medicine.

In medical, regulatory bodies have the ability to automatically restore itself if experiencing an imbalance condition.

“The medicine can only be friends if without his help, the disease can not be removed or life-threatening, but the drug did not need to be approached let alone become a habit,” said dr. Handrawan Nadesul.
