But unfortunately, it is often found that the treatment itself becomes very wasteful because it takes drugs that are not really needed, or can be dangerous, for example because of the use that is not in accordance with the rules of use. However, over-the-counter and free drugs are not necessarily free of side-effects, so their use should be in accordance with the indications, duration of correct use, accompanied by user knowledge of the risks of side effects and contraindications (Suryawati, 1997).
