According to experts, by 2020 more than half of the world's population will take at least one drug for life. The prerequisites for such a conclusion were that already now those who are over 65 years old consume at least two or three medications every day. Experts have established that not all of them are harmless. Moreover, the danger to life can be caused by their combination with each other.

Patients in the survey said that for them the main thing is that the applied agent quickly put them on their feet. With a list of side effects indicated in the instructions to drugs, as a rule, no one gets acquainted with.

Moreover, many of the respondents believe that the more medications the doctor prescribes, the sooner they will recover from their problems.

Recent studies have shown that this is not the case. In particular, in the US in 2017, the death from complications after taking medication was 225,000 cases. This is more than what happened in an accident.

The most dangerous are antibiotics, glucocorticoids, hormonal drugs, anti-inflammatory and antiviral drugs, as well as immunomodulators.
