Why Doubling Your Dose Won’t Heal You Faster?
Last month, my friend had a bad throat infection and asked, ‘Can I double my antibiotic dose to recover faster?’ Guess what? It didn’t help her heal—it made things worse. We often think, ‘One more pill can’t hurt,’ but it can. There’s actually solid research on this; studies shared by the CDC show that taking pills the wrong way just makes the bugs smarter and tougher. When you take more pills than prescribed by your doctor, it can actually kill the good bugs in your stomach that help you digest your food. And it’s not just antibiotics; the same goes for painkillers. Overusing painkillers can hurt your liver, cause bleeding in your stomach, or even lead to an overdose.
Remember, healing takes time, not extra doses. More pills don’t mean faster healing, just more harm. Let’s stop the ‘one more pill’ myth right here. Tag someone who needs this reminder. Follow ehealthyinfo for more health tips.
