Abstract

Pharmaceutical drugs are commonly used for the functioning of living beings and organisms that infect them. The drugs produce harmful as well as beneficial effects, and decisions about when and how to use them therapeutically always involve the balancing of benefits and risks. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) laws regulate the availability of these drugs for medical use. The negative effects of these drugs can cause problems that affect the recovery period as well as the disease spreading. This article defines the harms of drugs and helps us regulate their usage. Cross-sectional information from various sources of the internet and their indicators was the prevalence of use of pharmaceutical drugs. Moreover, a survey will be administered about multiple age groups to help assess the various problems people face using these pharmaceutical drugs. A descriptive analysis was carried out by combining both methods. To not experience any harmful complications and impact that impact anyone in any way. Doctors and patients should take utmost precautions to take such medicines, limit their use and also not overuse or self-medicate themselves. Lack of research in this field can result in widespread use of drugs with unknown long-term effects. The study shows that without learning about such problems humans can be at health risk in the future and will show more awareness to evaluate potential risks.
