Did you know self-medication, and irregular checkup, have been identified as some of the biggest causes of renal failure in Nigeria?

It's a sad fact that Nigerians, engage in self-medication instead of seeking professional medical help. Many Nigerians would rather turn to non-prescription and over-the-counter drugs for the solution to their health issues than consulting a physician.
Sadly, 17,000 new cases of kidney failures were being diagnosed yearly, with only 2,000 of them having access to life-saving dialysis in Nigeria.

To prevent kidney failure and other serious ailments, it is best to avoid self-medication.

The risks that are associated with self-medication include:
Inaccurate diagnosis.
Using inappropriate medications that cause side effects.
Masking the symptoms of a serious condition.
Delaying medical advice.
Inaccurate dosage, leading to accidental overdose.
Self-medicating can lead to severe health conditions or even death.

If you or a loved one is experiencing pain, discomfort, or is ill for an extended period of time, then it is time to visit a medical professional.
Please do not self-medicate, consulting a medical professional isn't only the wise thing to do, it's the cheaper option. Health is wealth, don't throw it away by self-medicating
