The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) has issued a fresh advisory urging people to avoid unnecessary or prolonged use of painkillers and antibiotics without medical advice.
The drug regulator has raised concerns about the potential health risks associated with repeated and inappropriate use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and antibiotics. It said these medicines should be taken only when medically required, at the recommended dose and for the appropriate duration under the supervision of a doctor.
