Self - medication regularly gives rise to many reactions: we would not always be able to treat ourselves well. We might miss something serious. Or, worse, we risk overdoses . False. At least when one is sensible, like the average of the population. The real problem of self-medication : over-the-counter medications are not all effective and some are even harmful *. Thus on the most commonly sold drugs , experts in pharmacology believe that 27 are to proscribe, that 20 can be taken (for lack of better) and only 13 drugs can be purchased to treat alone and without risk. So that's the list of self-medication drugs to take or not.

Our opinion on these drugs "for lack of better" : the experts have a hard tooth. This category contains many homeopathic or herbal medicines. Or even older remedies (such as Spasfon for stomach aches). However, in everyday life, most users confirm that relief is at the rendezvous.
