Misusing Prescribed medicationFriday, December 20, 2024//DYCA


Yap, FSM – Misusing prescribed medications, sharing them with others, or deciding not to follow a doctor's instructions can have serious consequences, not just for yourself but also for those you might believe you are helping. Such practices can lead to harmful effects, including the potential emergence of new viruses or infections that could become untreatable here in Yap.


It's important to understand that medications are prescribed based on individual health needs and sharing them can lead to adverse reactions or ineffective treatment for those who do not have the same medical condition.


By following your doctor's guidelines and using medications as directed, you not only protect your own health but also contribute to the overall well-being of our community. Let's prioritize responsible medication use to ensure that effective treatments remain available for everyone.
