We Do Not Recommend Project

For example, medication advice…

Using medications under doctor's supervision is of great importance for your health. Using medication without a prescription or doctor's advice can lead to many health problems such as the risk of missing the correct diagnosis, unwanted side effects, prolongation of your disease, and drug addiction. We support rational drug use.

So what is this rational use of drugs? It means using the right medicine at the right time, in the right amount and through the right application, for purposes such as preventing, controlling or treating a disease. In this process, communication between the patient and the doctor is of great importance. Each individual's situation is different and treatment plans should be tailored accordingly. Rational drug use is the physician's selection of the appropriate drug and treatment for each patient. Using drugs with the advice of a spouse or friend instead of your doctor and keeping old prescription drugs can lead to irrational drug use and lead to many negative situations such as negative drug reactions, development of resistance, long duration and recurrence of the disease, and drug addiction. Irrational drug use also causes the development of drug-resistant infections. Scientific research shows that drug-resistant infections will cause serious increases in deaths globally and by 2050, there may be a 75% increase in the death rate compared to 2021. Using medication without a doctor's advice endangers both your personal and public health. We #DoNotRecommend the unconscious and non-prescription use of drugs.

We invite you to rational drug use. From today, get your medication recommendations from your doctor and protect your health.
