When two or more medicines are prescribed by a doctor or over-the-counter drugs, drug reactions can happen since the ingredients of the drugs clash may have an opposite interaction. The patient may suffer a serious potential result. To reduce the risk  try to follow these guidelines: Carefully read the labels, and try to understand ingredients in each drug along with any possible side-effects they can cause. If you do not understand the label, ask some questions to your doctor or pharmacist. Be sure that you let them know if you are taking other drugs, herbal products or vitamins or mineral supplement. Unless you are told to do so, do not mix pills or break capsules into food or drink. Never take any medication with alcohol.

Pain is an uncomfortable feeling that tells you something may be wrong in your body. Sometimes pain may be just a nuisance, like a mild headache. At other times, such as after an operation, pain that doesn’t go away, even after you take pain medicine, may be a signal that there is a problem. If you have an operation, your nurses and doctors will ask you about your pain because they want you to be comfortable, but also because they want to know if something is wrong. Before learning different management techniques, however, it’s important to understand some concepts about pain. If you act quickly when pain starts, you can often prevent it from getting worse. The body also produces its own natural pain relievers called endorphins. Exercise and treatments such as physiotherapy, manipulation and acupuncture, help increase the endorphins in your body.
