Drugs are made to save lives and not cause deaths. Every drug has some side effect if the dose of the drug is correct, then it can be avoided. Some drugs side/ adverse effects can be reduced by another drug. Hence, doctor prescribed medication is safer then self medication. Banned drugs have more adverse/ side effects. Doctors should stop prescribing banned drugs and due to less demand manufacturer will not produce such drugs. As well as the government should make strict laws against the peoples involved in manufacturing and selling of banned drugs. Government should be ordered to dump these cheap drugs in proper manner. And also, India’s pharmacovigilance effort has to be scaled up rapidly. People should say stop selling banned drugs.
