Using Medicines Safely

Medicines that are prescribed by doctors are much more varied than those that we can buy over the counter, and they are also much more powerful. In some cases, we may feel better before we have finished the course of medicines prescribed. Unused medicines should be thrown away or flushed down the toilet. However, if we are taking antibiotics, we have to finish the whole course, because a partial treatment tends to encourage the survival of drug-resistant strains of disease-producing bacteria.
