What are the hazards of drugs to the human body

It is normal to get sick occasionally in our daily life. A minor cold can usually be cured quickly by drinking more water. But in real life, people prefer to rely on medicines. Therefore, when they have a minor cold, they go to the doctor to get medicine. But do you know what harms medicines can cause to the human body? Here are some of the harms that drugs can cause to our bodies:

The harm of drugs to the human body includes side effects and toxic effects of drugs. The details are as follows:

1. Side effects of the drug. Generally, drugs have multiple pharmacological effects, some of which are used for therapeutic purposes, while the rest become side effects. Side effects refer to non-therapeutic pharmacological effects that occur simultaneously with the therapeutic effects of drugs at normal doses and are inherent effects of drugs.

2. Toxic effects of drugs. Most drugs have certain toxicity, and some can cause changes in the physiological function and structure of tissues or organs, such as changes in the heart, liver, kidneys, central nervous system, and hematopoietic system. Highly potent drugs stay in the body for a long time, and long-term use may cause drug accumulation in the body, which may lead to chronic toxic reactions. Toxic reactions are often related to dose, and increasing the drug dose will increase the toxic effect. Therefore, attempts to increase drug efficacy by increasing drug dosage have limited effects, and sometimes the consequences are extremely dangerous.

The above introduction is the harm of drugs to the human body. After this introduction, everyone has some understanding. In short, all medicines are poisonous. For minor illnesses and colds, drinking more water will heal quickly. Try to rely less on drugs to cure and avoid unnecessary dependence on drugs. I hope the above detailed analysis can be helpful to everyone.
