Read the following passage carefully and complete the activities.
Occasional self-medication has always been part of normal living. The making and selling of drugs has a
long history and is closely linked, like medical practice itself, with belief in magic. Only during the last
hundred years or so, the development of scientific techniques made, diagnosis possible. The doctor is now
able to follow up the correct diagnosis of many illnesses with specific treatment of their causes. In many
other illnesses of which the causes remain unknown, he is still limited, like the unqualified prescriber, to
the treatment of symptoms. The doctor is trained to decide when to treat symptoms only and when to
attack the cause. This is the essential difference between medical prescribing and self-medication.
The advancement in technology has brought about much progress in some fields of medicine, including the
development of scientific drug therapy. In many countries public health organization is improving and
people's nutritional standards have risen. Parallel with such beneficial trends are two which have an
adverse effect. One is the use of high pressure advertising by the pharmaceutical industry which has
tended to influence both patients and doctors and has led to the overuse of drugs generally. The other is
emergence of eating, insufficient sleep, excessive smoking and drinking. People with disorders arising from
faulty habits such as these, as well as from unhappy human relationships, often resort to self-medication
and so add the taking of pharmaceuticals to the list. Advertisers go to great lengths to catch this market.
Clever advertising, aimed at chronic sufferers who will try anything because doctors have not been able to
cure them, can induce such faith in a preparation, particularly if cheaply priced, that it will produce-by
suggestion-a very real effect in some people. Advertisements are also aimed at people suffering from mild
complaints such as simple cold and coughs which clear up by themselves within a short time.
These are the main reasons why laxatives, indigestion-remedies, painkillers, cough-mixtures, tonics, vitamin
and iron tablets, nose drops, ointments and many other preparations are found in quantity in many
households. It is doubtful whether taking these things ever improves a person's health, it may even make it
worse. Worse, because the preparation may contain unsuitable ingredients; worse because the taker may
become dependent on them; worse because they might be taken excess; worse because they may cause
poisoning, and worst of all because symptoms of some serious underlying cause may be asked and
therefore medical help may not be sought. Self-diagnosis is a greater danger than self-medication.
