If this study were to be done in contemporary Nigeria, drugs like Tetracycline, Ampiclox, Flagyl , Fansidar, Nivaquine and Coartem would show up in red. In essence we should have 10 most abused drugs and not 5.
Nigerians be trading their future for the quackery of chemists and ignorance of self medication.


Indirectly this contributes to the increased incidence of renal failure, infertility, Dyslipidemia, and susceptibility to infections.
Anyways, keep at it folks, it's win-win for the doctors.

Amplicox should be numbered one. I travelled to America and very surprised that it is not over the counter in America. It USA controlled substance.

Sir, in Nigeria ampiclox is never an over the counter drug, this is the rule , all antibiotics are are prescription drugs, is just the pathetic situation in this country that make u think it is OTC drug. Yes if we should extend the list to 10 , it will make the list. Ampiclox is one of the most abused antibiotics, i don't think it is the most abused drug.

Tramadol doesn't increase libido... In fact it reduces it.. It gives you fake sense of wellbeing... Makes you feel relaxed. gets you high and mess up your brain awareness... You will be wide awake yet asleep... Distracts your brain from concentrating clearly on what's right in front of you.
If I take tramadol if you like strip alexis texas and Lisa Ann naked in front of me, my d!ck can never stand.. . Cos the drug dulls the part of my brain that controls my erections.
I Just don't get it when people say they use tramadol to enhance their libido...
Well what do I know? Tramadol has different effects on different people sha.

Advice : stay the hell away from tramadol and every other opiates drugs out there... They would only ruin your life.

But in America, without doctor's prescription nobody will sell you the Ampiclox. It is a controlled drug in America, a nation with biggest breakthroughs in Medical experimentations.
