First tip on buying medicines is that do not blindly buy medicines on your own until the provision of doctor. If you do then grasp some knowledge of pharmaceuticals.


If you are suffering with pain, you can buy analgesics( painkillers) which are non-narcotics i.e. non addictive. Some of the common analgesics are ibuprofn, paracetamol, methyl salicylate.

Don't take risk by taking any medicines with your less knowledge. Mostly we don't prefer Doctor and directly buy medicines form Pharmacists. Of course it give us temporary relief but we must not ignore its side effects, which makes lots of trubble on future. Yes it can give you serious health problems so that don't be a doctor for yourself and don't take risk and don't play with your own health. Be Smart, Don't Acting like Smart.

Be your own drugless doctor if possible
Jan 05, 2016 07:23 AM

Dr Aseem malhotra a Uk based, Indian Cardiologist who is  fighting against the use of too much sugar in many factory foods, said - " too much medicine is killing us ".


A book by the title - "death by prescription" is very famous as it brings to the fore the ill effects of  the modern medicine . That only masks the symptoms  and at most times doesn't treat the organ .


I think when buying medicine it's important to remember what socrates said - "let food be thy medicine and medicine(herbs) be thy food ." Let the kitchen be  your first pharmacy .


I have been my own drugless doctor since 2005, its been 10 long years .if I can pull it off you can too .


I may have taken an occasion painkiller for a toothache when the pain was excruciating intolerable but that's about it .


I have never felt the need  to visit any physician over the last decade . I have never done any blood work in this period.


I believe if i'm eating right and nutritious nature will take care of my body . I just align to nature and its taken care of me all along .


Not that I never got fever or mild illnesses but instead of consuming modern medicine .i simply rested and fasted  if need be . Within a day or 2 I would always bounce back .


Also in extreme cases I might take a trishun for influenza or tulsi for cough and cold, or chandraprabha vati for UTI's  but these are ayurvedic medicines for which I never needed to consult anyone .


Do we really need  medicine .maybe yes in extreme cases  but it can be homeopathic, ayurvedic and even functional medicine . As Dr mark Hyman a doctor of functional medicine  would say treat by system not by geography or organ and depression is a not a prozac deficiency .attention deficit not a Ritalin deficiency .


*Maybe all one needs to do is just fix  your  gut, manage nutritional deficiencies, remove all allergens, fix  the thyroid and deeply relax.** That's how functional medicine works . Its treats  your whole system and not the organ .


The modern medicine should be used only in cases of emergencies or extreme illnesses . They can be highly potent but at the same time very nephrotoxic and hepatotoxic .


Dr hyman when asked if he was a holistic doctor, smiles and quips - no i'm a doctor who treats a whole list of problems .im connect the dots doctor, who treats  the system and  not the symptoms .


He suggests you may be depressed as you may be B12 deficient or taking too little magnesium which is a relaxation mineral . Or maybe your  tooth filling maybe causing mercury toxicity . or maybe you have gluten intolerance which in turn causes brain fog and depression  .


Than all you might need to do is eat  nuts and seeds for magnesium, take B12 supplements/ take nutrient dense food  and remove the mercury filling . Remove wheat and thereby gluten found in wheat and some other grains  . That's how you connect the dots and that's how you treat the system and not the symptom by masking it by prozac for depression .


*manage your platter, your allergies and your deficiencies maybe that's  all you ever needed .What you find at the end of  the fork is 3 times more powerful than what you will ever find at the end of a pill bottle .*


You can heal with meals or  kill with meals . Its upto you .


if were you I would summon dr resting and dr fasting before I decide to meet a physician .

Buy your medicines carefully
Dec 18, 2015 01:52 PM

We all need to take medicine for our health problems and it becomes very imperative to check the medicine which we are consuming. Medicine does treat our body and provide benefits but if you eat a wrong pill it can be threaten for  life also. The most important thing is that you must always buy medicine from a licensed pharmacy, which is renamed and well trusted. Before accepting your medicine from the pharmacist do check its date of manufacture and also date of expiry. So that you know you are consuming safe drugs.


You should always follow doctor advice in taking medicines and if a pharmacy does not ask for your prescription it means it runs illegal.


If you find the packing of the medicine is broken or damaged do not accept that. Dont used too many on the counter drugs without doctors advice it can harm your health.


If you buy medicines online then make sure you check for VIPPS accreditation. This means the pharmacy has passed inspection by National Association  of Boards of Pharmacy.

This is very important to buy right medicines for the treatment of right disease. Because when there is a matter of life than you have to be very careful.Whether you purchase it directly from chemist shop or demand by internet online or any website. you must be fully aware of that pharmacy or particular agency. Make sure that he is in the possession of valid license holder. There should not be any complaints against him. He should have reputed name in the market. He should be able to provide correct drugs as per the prescription. Look for expiry date, it should not be so near. If it is matter of lump sum stocks then medicines samples to be checked in the laboratory before use.


If there is any doubt of its safety then check them properly, not to put patient health at risk. Doctors also should check the medicines samples regularly provided by the medical representative for their quality and potency so that they can prescribe the right medicines for the patients. If you are demanding it by online then before use, get it checked by authorized pharmacist or doctors. You also remember the few things at the time of receiving medicines like physical appearance of its color, texture and packing. Its taste, smell and conditions of the package. It should not be so old, strong, too weak. It should be labeled properly and stored in safe and correct temperature. The prescribed should be with proper and required ingredients otherwise it may be harmful for the people and it should have exact potential power, more or less may be risky and will not solve the purpose. So before buying it please be aware that it should be safe, effective, useful, not harmful or side effects and works fast for the recovery.

Tips on Buying Medicines
Nov 16, 2015 09:03 PM

I guess most folks have used painkillers one or the opposite time, with complete trust(and cognitive content too!) but I actually have had some atrocious expertise recently. The culprits  . none different then therefore referred to as comparatively safe opposing inflammatories; Brufien(Ibuprofen) and diclofenac.


Though these area unit  prescribed for muscle and joint pain. watch out even though u have alittle of acidity drawback .


I recently underwent surgery when multiple fractures on my left higher arm.  pain when the surgery was Brobdingnagian and intolerable for initial few hours. they gave Pine Tree State a sedative by name'pethedine'(a narcotic). it reduced the pain to an excellent extent and that I fell asleep.


My woes started thenceforth. it caused such a lot abdomen irritation  that I couldnt eat something for 2 days thenceforth.


Ok. I got discharged. and was suggested to require Hifenac SR(diclofenac derivative) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, for the primary few weeks  as pain was certain to arise.


I accustomed take hifenac. and each morning I had severe abdomen pain and burning sensation. my initial guess was gastrointestinal disorder or my uptake habits. although I knew these painkillers might cause slight irritation I persisted sort of a fool.


I modified to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and alas!. it had been worse.


How do these NSAID's wok:


NSAIDs work to dam the result of Associate in Nursing protein referred to as Cox, that successively manufacture chemicals that cause inflammation/swelling. so by dominant Cox, the pain was reduced. however here lies the catch. these enzymes additionally facilitate in protective the abdomen lining .so if u inhibit them u harm abdomen lining!.


Then there area unit second generation NSAIDs. referred to as COX2 inhibitors that purportedly dont  cause abdomen irritation however most of these(like rofecoxib(vioxx) etc.) were illegal  recently.


Anacin or paracetamol ne'er work for love or money bigger then a light headache.So amazingly we tend to dont have abundant alternative.Opiates(Morphine, codiene.). simply forget them .coz u wont get them or perhaps if u get .ull be addicted  and insensible and  they too aren't any less irritating then anti-inflammatory.


So if u have severe muscle / joint pain .and u have acidity issues. please dont resort to pain killers. they'll harm urban center gastro enteral systems.


Rather. opt for a oil massage and quandary  treatment.(may not be terribly effective however still works)

Quality-Generics
Mar 06, 2014 05:18 PM

I am writing this review about Quality Generics because I have used its services. It is a net based pharmacy, which provides medicine online. Last year my friend's father was suffered from high cholesterol problem and he ordered medicines from many pharmacies. But most of the pharmacy delivered to him expired date medicines. He did not recover by those medicines. Then one of my another friend suggested Quality Generics to me. He said Quality generics is a very nice online medical store who deliver medicine on time. The medicines they deliver all are safe and registered under WHO. Then I told my friend about Quality Generics and he ordered the medicine online from the quality generics.


Thanks to Quality Generics for solving problem of my friend's father.

Love/Anti Love pills under experiment............
Mar 01, 2009 12:26 AM

Pop a love pill, and you are on. And pop an anti-love pill, you are done - without any lingering emotions.


Scientists say it will soon be possible to fall in and out of love at whim - just like hopping into a bus and then getting off two stops later.


They say that since falling in love is merely a chemical reaction in the human brain, a love pill may be invented soon to trigger this chemical reaction to make people in love.


And then there could be an anti-love pill to make people fall out of love. According to an American neuro-scientist, researchers may soon find the right kind of chemical mixture to help people fall in and out of love.


Larry Young of Atlanta's Emory University School of Medicine told atelevision network at the weekend that researchers may soon be able to show that emotions such as love are directly triggered by bio chemical events in the human brain.


Hesaid his research into prairie voles - which are short-tailed, mouse-like animals found in the prairies(fertile plains) of the US and Canada - has shown that sexual bonding can be triggered and blocked bythe addition or subtraction of certain chemicals to the brain.


"(Thevoles) are monogamous. That is, they form a life-long bond with apartner. We have been studying the chemistry behind that, " he said.


Butwhen Young injected the chemical(hormone) oxytocin into the brain of afemale prairie vole, she quickly abandoned her monogamy and fell forthe nearest male.


But when the chemical hormone to her brain was stopped, her bonding with the new mate was over.


Accordingto Young, "The hormone interacts with the reward and reinforcementsystem driven by the neurotransmitter dopamine - the same circuitrythat drugs such as nicotine, cocaine and heroine act on in humans toproduce euphoria and addiction."


Thehappy news, said Young, is that his research has shown that "there isan overlap between the brain areas involved in vole bonding and thoseassociated with human love.


"What's more, the chemical oxytocin, which was observed to trigger bonding in voles, also changes human behaviour.


"Peoplewho inhale oxytocin become more trusting . They engage in more eyecontact .(It) tunes them into the social world. Dopamine gives us areward, so you feel good."


Creatinga cocktail of these two chemicals(oxytocin and dopamine) in the formof a love pill could create an attraction between two people, he said.


But if attraction could be chemically induced, he added, the opposite was also possible in the form of anti-love pills.


"Youcould block those chemicals when you're around this person. All drugsare just mimicking or blocking our own natural brain chemistry, " Youngsaid.


He said these chemical cocktails could help countless couples who spend huge amounts of money on marital therapy in future.

Sep 11, 2007 07:17 PM

I am 22 years old. Last year in July 2006, one unfortunate morning wen I woke up my right foot was swollen and had a sever pain.thot it mst b a sprain of sm kind and thus took **proxyvon(painkiller).** I continued with the same for abt 12 days takin one tablet three times a day.and used to sleep the whole day.


Finally nt able to recover the swelling and pain that used to come up wen the effect of proxyvon finished. I consulted a physician here. He suggested sm tests.the tests relieved elevated ESR, CRP, TLC and lower HB.My RA factor was negative showing I didn't have rheumatoid arthritis.


The pain till then had reached more parts of my body and affected single joints.one ankle, one knee, one wrist the doctors diagnosed it to b **reactive arthritis. that occurred to me coz of stomach infection I suffered in may 2006.due to the infection, the immunity system wen reacts to the infection, it somehow also attacks its own bodies present arnd the joint bones. and this leads to a rise in C Reactive Protien.this in turn causes inflammation.the docs suggested me 60 mg of Delsone(steroid), HIFENAC SR, HCQS, FOLVITE, and DOMPAN FOR ACIDITY ON DAILY BASIS


In addition to the above medicines, they gave me NEOTREXATE TO BE TAKEN ON WEEKLY BASIS.the same medications followed for abt 3 months.my pain was reduced.I gained weight.rose from 64 kg to 70kg.started having acidity.stomach cramps.and all. although I reduced my dosage.I cud nt stop it. I had to take atleast 5 gm of del sone daily .otherwise pain would reappear.


Then I turned towards homeopathy.continued for arnd 2 mnths. Though I had less pain somehow.it disappeared completely I remained as healthy and painless a a normal being for arnd 2 mnths.and nw.since last month(aug 2007)I  have started with the same problem.and the pain is even more severe.swelling is more and pain is unbearable. This time I with diclofenac continued with it for anrd 15 days.bt had no permanent relief.and nw its been 3 days and I've again started homeopathy and the real pain that was somehow being suppressed by diclofenac has come up.though the pain is unbearable and m almost completely dependent.I am waiting for the relief.


I have heard a lot abt homeopathy and I believe I shud b able to recover soon.i want to knw if im bearing any wrong beliefs.can anyone suggest any alternative?


it wud b very helpful.i have to join an MNC in november.and I dnt have much time.plz help me*
