Medicine

Medicine - the solution to nearly every illness. There is a cure to almost every well known disease. Only very few illnesses, amongst them HIV, cannot be cured today. For all the others, there are different potions or pills. Many of them are available freely, for instance those that help when you have a headache, feel sick or have a cold. However, the medicine against more serious illnesses is only available on prescription in most countries. It is better to see a doctor in any way, when you are seriously ill or injured. He certainly knows what medicine will help you best. Also, when your doctor prescribes you medicine your health fund will very likely bear the expenses.

There is some medicine that does not cure illnesses also, i.e. is taken when you are in principle well. Viagra is one of those. Diminishing potency does not cause any pain and is not in the least life threatening. It is only that people do not want to accept being less fertile and are searching for ways to overcome that problem.

Besides, there is lots of medicine that is to complement or replace different food. Dietary supplements are a high profit market nowadays. Many people take those instead of eating fruits for instance. The effect is doubtful but that does not influence the consume.

However, different medicine is available in other countries. Every country carries out analysis whether a drug is harmful or not. Some countries are more tolerant while others have stricter rules for making a drug available to everybody.

We all know very well that we should read the enclosed label carefully before taking the medicine (german: Medizin). But who actually does read every single word? Many people select the medication without regarding the information given by the doctor or the producer. This abuse is not just reckless but simply dangerous. Taking medicine is not a game. Inner organs can be seriously damaged if certain drugs are taken excessively. Also, you may get addicted to them. In the end, you are more ill than you were before.

Medicine can save lives. If all rules and restrictions are followed thoroughly, they can be a true ease. Always think about the necessity of taking one or another drug. If you are well aware of what you are doing, nothing stands in the way of a long and prosperous life!
