The Right Steps to Take When Sick
Articles / 7 July, 2022
Who do you consult when you feel sick, your doctor, pharmacist or just anybody? People sometimes make the wrong decision on how to go about their medical conditions. This issue is highly sensitive and have deeply caused serious discomfort and,sometimes, death. Same happened to Mr Harry(my friend’s father) which made him go into coma. Pharmacist: Good morning brother, what brought you to the pharmacy this morning? Emeka: My father has been in coma for two days now. He had fallen sick on 29th June and visited a local drugstore to buy medicines. He had a cluster headache and felt that a typical local drugstore would be able to handle the situation. A manager at the drugstore prescribed Paracetamol and a combination of three antimalarial drugs. My dad took these drugs for 10 days without any improvement so I rushed him to the hospital when he was already in coma. Pharmacist: Okay... Emeka: The doctor handling his case suggested he might have had a high blood pressure, which could have been easily managed by an accredited hospital and doctor. The doctor handling his case agrees that Harry also had malaria, but admits that the drugs he took were substandard. the doctor found that the medicines he had been administered with had no National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) number and expiry date. Pharmacist: You see, health experts often warn that once an antimalarial drug is taken for three days without any meaningful impact, the patient should see a doctor/ pharmacist. But this warning is often ignored. Drugs produced locally or imported from other countries often pass through a regulatory agency like NAFDAC, whose primary responsibility it is to examine and ascertain whether they are fit for human consumption or not. But in the case of Mr Harry, the medicines he took had no NAFDAC approval and there was no expiry date on the label. Harry visited a quack who administered substandard medication to him. They often doesn’t know how to preserve medicines in order to maitain its efficacy. Next time you get sick, visit a qualified health care professional and get your drug from a proper pharmacy with a pharmacist that can be held accountable.
