Buying medicine without a doctor's prescription is extremely dangerous.
According to Japanese doctors, buying and using drugs without a doctor's prescription is an extremely dangerous act, posing many serious health risks. In particular, injecting drugs into the body, if not performed at reputable medical facilities, without ensuring sterile conditions, can accidentally introduce bacteria from the outside into the body through the injections. The consequence is the formation of an abscess at the injection site. If not treated promptly and properly, the infection can spread, causing cellulitis, necrosis or sepsis, threatening the patient's life.
Through the above case, the doctor recommends that people absolutely should not believe in word-of-mouth treatment methods, especially injections of unknown origin, without the supervision of medical professionals. When having any health problems, you should go to a reputable medical facility to be examined, diagnosed and have timely intervention measures by a doctor.
