Therapist Kozakova told about five simple ways to distinguish an effective drug from a pacifier

Therapist Oksana Kozakova told 5 simple ways to distinguish an effective drug from a pacifier. This is reported by “Doctor Peter”.

“I think everyone has already heard that not all medications are “equally useful”, someone calls them bullshit, someone calls them empty shells, but the meaning is the same. Medicines are tested through randomized, placebo-controlled, blind trials. There are special resources where you can check studies on the effectiveness and safety of drugs,” Kozakova said.

You can independently figure out whether you really have a drug with proven effectiveness, the expert said. To do this, remember a few simple rules:

The mechanism of action of the drug is always aimed at specific indicators. If the description consists of general phrases that he “improves”, “normalizes”, “tones” something without specifics, you should know that this is a dummy;

An effective drug always treats a specific disease. If you have a dummy in front of you, then a very wide range of applications will be indicated there: “tonsillitis, scarlet fever, cholerin, diphtheria, appendicitis, malaria and bronchitis …”;

All effective drugs have a huge list of side effects. This means only one thing – it is well studied. Side effects of ineffective drugs are practically absent, for example, one phrase is written: “allergic reactions are possible”;

If the dilution concentration is indicated on the box, then this is a homeopathic remedy. And they have no proven effectiveness;

Another example of a pacifier is that the box will say that it is a biologically active food supplement, the therapist added.

Earlier, the doctor Boris Shelyapin explained why dietary supplements are dangerous.
