Medical Video: How to Treat Weed Dealers, According to a Weed Dealer
When you need medication, where do you usually buy medicine? Is it to the pharmacy, to the shop, or the nearest shop? Right now you can buy medicine easily, even with the application on line even though. However, that does not mean you can use drugs that are sold freely. Make sure you have checked the drug, whether it has been declared safe or not.
However, what should be checked before taking drugs, both those which are sold freely and those that are available on a limited basis? Here it is the drug check technique recommended by the Indonesian Food and Drug Administration (BPOM).
Get to know the medication check with CLICK BPOM
As a consumer, you must be smart and careful when choosing drugs. Because, taking the wrong medication can cause various types of dangerous side effects. Moreover, there are currently many drug manufacturers that are not yet officially registered. You also need to pay attention to whether the drug you bought is really original from the manufacturer, not mixed with foreign ingredients by certain parties.
To ensure consumers can choose wisely, BPOM recommends checking CLIK. CLICK here stands for Packaging, Label, Distribution Permit, and Expiration. These four things must be checked before you buy drugs at a pharmacy or shop.
Which must be checked before buying drugs at the store
This drug check method by CLICK can prevent you from taking fake, unofficial drugs, or those that have expired. See the guide to checking the following medicines, yes.
1. Packaging
The first thing to check is whether the drug packaging is still suitable for sale. For example, if the box is worn and perforated, it means the drug is not stored in a proper place. Most likely the contents have been damaged and not suitable for consumption. Also note that the packaging is faded, looks faded, or is torn. You should not buy and consume it. This drug may be too long.
2. Label
Always read the label of the drug you are going to buy again, even though you have repeatedly bought the same medicine in the store. Each drug should contain a label or information that contains the following.
- Product name
- Active ingredients or ingredients (eg paracetamol or aluminum hydroxide)
- Drug category (eg analgesics, antihistamines or decongestants)
- Use of drugs (for example to relieve symptoms such as runny nose, nasal congestion, itching due to allergies, coughing up phlegm, or nausea)
- Warning for people with certain health conditions
- Drug dosage
- Other information, such as storage recommendations
3. Distribution permit
Make sure the medicines you consume already have a marketing permit from the Indonesian POM Agency. Medicines that already have permits will usually include a registration number. If you are still in doubt, please download the official BPOM drug check application through a cellphone with the Android operating system. You can also immediately check the distribution permission on the Internet inside this link.
4. Expires
Always look for drug expiration dates before you buy. Remember, taking drugs that are past their expiration date is high risk. Apart from the fact that the medicinal properties have been reduced or lost, the drug may experience a certain dangerous chemical composition change. So, if the drug has passed its expiration date, just throw it away and don't drink it.
