Nowadays, a growing number of people with health problems are trying alternative medicines and treatments instead of visiting their usual doctor. Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?

Recently, the number of

people

who take

medicines

and try to cure themselves without their doctors' instructions has been increasing. In my view,

this

trend has more disadvantages than its advantages as

this

development will deteriorate patients' health and treatment results.

Firstly

,

people

who take alternative

medicines

will experience some side

effects

of drugs. Every medicine has its side

effects

,

such

as vomiting and headache.

For example

, if

people

try other

medicines

frequently, while they are in the middle of treatment, they will suffer from the unexpected

effects

of these pharmaceuticals.

Moreover

, the initial action of pills will be altered. From my perspective, following the doctor's instructions will be less detrimental to the patient's well-being.

Secondly

, there is a risk of facing antibiotic resistance among patients who often take penicillin without knowing their results. Nowadays, microbial resistance to antibiotics is becoming more widespread due to the excessive intake of antimicrobial drugs without the physician's recommendation.

For instance

, if

people

continue trying antibiotics when they feel sick, there will be no treatment for diseases caused by bacterial infections.

Thus

, from my point of view,

this

development will take the public into more serious situations. To conclude, the extended number of

people

who take

medicines

instead

of visiting their physicians will lead to negative results as they may suffer from the side

effects

of drugs.

Moreover

, there will be limited

effects

of the antibiotics. I believe that

people

should consider visiting their doctors whenever they feel uncomfortable,

instead

of using pills they do not know about.
