I refer to the article 'Sharing Was Not Caring' on yesterday's newspaper. It was very unwise of the mother to give her young son the medicine that was prescribed for her. Sharing medicine with someone else may make this other person very sick. Futhermore, the person for whom the medicine was initially prescribed wil have less medicine to take.
Many people share their medicine with other family members to save money. But this is not wise. This could harm the other people as what happened to little Kamal. He was already having other medical problems. The medicine given by his mother reacted with his own medicine and made matters worse.
Antibiotics, especially must not be shared. You must take the full dose and complete the course. We are all different and our bodies react differently to different types of medicines. Let this incident with Kamal be a lesson to everyone. We must be careful especially when it comes to health matters.
