Good afternoon, and welcome to our talk show on proper medication usage.Today, we have Dr. Emily Olson, an expert in medicine, joining us.Dr. Olson, can you tell us why we should be aware of the dangers of taking medicine in the wrong way?

Sure. Taking medicine in the wrong way can harm your body and mind.For example, taking medicine without a doctor’s recommendation can cause serious side effects.You may become addicted to it.This can be terrible for both you and your loved ones.I once had a patient who took strong painkillers without a prescription for many years.She felt dizzy and sick all the time, but she kept taking more medicine to make the symptoms go away.As time passed, she became more and more addicted to the medicine.She started to disregard her work and family.Eventually she lost her job, and her health was destroyed.
