It's very important to take medications only under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Here are some key points to consider:

• Prescription Necessity: Many medications require a prescription because they need to be used carefully to avoid side effects or interactions.

• Safety Concerns: Taking medication on your own without proper medical advice can be risky and may lead to complications.

• Consult a Doctor: Always consult a healthcare provider to ensure the medication is appropriate for your condition and to get the correct dosage.

• Exceptions: Some over-the-counter medicines are safe to use without a prescription, but even then, following instructions and consulting a pharmacist is advisable.
