Health care providers sometimes prescribe the wrong amount of medication, or the wrong medication altogether. Many times, two or more medications shouldn’t be prescribed at the same time. This could seriously hinder your recovery from whatever condition you have. In order to correctly move forward with treatment, it is vital for you to get the dosage you need.
Too much medicine could also cause significant health risks. In some cases, too much medication or the wrong combination of medications could result in severe side effects and even death. If you’ve been prescribed too little, this could prolong your treatment, draining you of time, money, and causing more pain. These are serious factors which people try to minimize in order to be polite.
