The use of medications contrary to the doctor's indications and in situations where the disease is not present poses a risk of side effects. A description of the side effects and their frequency can be found in the package leaflet.
Prescription medications dispensed from pharmacies should be used in accordance with the doctor's recommendations and in the diseases indicated by the doctor. Such medicines should not be used alone.
If you have any doubts about the recommended therapy, you can re-consult or consult another specialist, m.in. via teleconsultation via e.g. the Gdziepolek.pl portal:
