What is the effect of self medication?

[Ebutech]

Self medication is when you offer to treat yourself of illness by prescribing drugs without consulting to medical personnels. This practice has been condemned by both government and health practioners as barbaric acts which is detrimental to ones health. But the economic situation does not favor it. The high cost of medication and consultation has prevented most families from patronizing hospitals. The government equally failed in its responsibility to provide affordable medical programs. Owing to this, the public has no alternative than to seek self help by visiting medicine stores and buy over the counter drugs.

The effect is very voluminous,one could easily accrue another ailment while he/she is trying to self medicate
