Common Mistakes — Avoid Karein

1. Pharmacy Se Bina Parchee Antibiotics

Pakistan mein common — magar antibiotic resistance ka cause. Sirf doctor parchee se.

3. Apni Marzi Se Dose Barhana

Panadol "kaam nahi kar raha" so 4 lein — liver fail ho sakta. Recommended dose stick karein.

4. Doosron Ki Dawai Lena

Aap ke chacha ki BP medicine aap ke liye safe nahi. Har dawa person-specific.

5. Expired Medicines

Effectiveness reduce ho jati, kabhi toxic. Expiry date check karein.

6. Dawa + Dawa Interaction Ignore

Brufen + BP medicine = effect kam. Warfarin + Aspirin = bleeding. Doctor ko sab dawai batayein.
