ERNA'S GROUP:

WAYS TO PREVENT DRUGS OVERDOSE.

The National Center for Health Statistics reports that in 2005 more than 22000 lives were lost due to overdoses and the number is growing rapidly.(the hook) Most of people do not know on how to consume medicine properly. They take medicine without any awareness of the bad consequences if they over consume them.(transition) Some ways to prevent from over taking drugs are to take medication as prescribed, make sure the medicines come from familiar source and do not mix different types of medicines. (thesis statement)

One of the ways to prevent drugs overdose is to take medicine as instructed on the label or as prescribed by your doctor. (topic sentence) As a person that is expert in medical fields, a doctor knows exactly the quantity that a person should takes for each type of medicines. If you consume medicines without following the instructions, you may have taken the medicines more than what you should have and that will give bad impacts to your body. Example, if your body could not endure the amount of the medicine that you consumed, it will make you sleepy, hallucinate or at worst, it can also lead to death. (supporting sentence)Thus, people should learn on how to take medication following the instruction that is given to avoid any undesirable event to happen.(conclude sentence)

Besides that, buying medicine from reliable source can help you to refrains from overdoses.(topic sentence) You have to make sure that you buy drugs from places that owned a medication selling license. When you buy drugs at the pharmacy that owned a license from Ministry of Health, we can be sure that the medicines they sell are safe to consume. Example, if you are sick and you don’t have any time to go to the hospital, you will mostly choose to buy medicines from pharmacy and if the medicines that they sell are not approved or illegal, it might not cure your sickness.(supporting sentence) Hence, people should identify which pharmacy sells medicine that is approved by the Ministry of Health. (conclude sentence)

 Last but not least, separate different types of medicines in a different places or container can help to avert from overdoses.(topic sentence) If you mix various kinds of medicines, you might consume the wrong one. You will be confused which is which. Example, you can also put a label on each medicines to make it easier to identify them. In addition, if you keep on mixing medicines and piling them together, you won’t be able to distinguish which medicines might have past the due date. In this case, taking medicines that have expired might give a bad effect to your body.(supporting sentence) Therefore, we should practice to keep our medicines properly to avert from over consuming them. (conclude sentence)

In a nutshell, drugs overdose can be avoided if we take precautions. Many lives can be safe if they know the correct ways to prevent them. Government should play an important role to give awareness to society about it.(suggestion) Like a saying goes “prevention is better than cure”.(quotes) If we ignore and keep on doing the same things we might lose someone that we love or we could lose ourselves too.
