WHAT IS MAGIC PILL?


Well , It was the Day of Thursday When I was Sitting in a Restaurant, Having a me Time , Calming and having a coffee where I saw two Guys having A Delicious Lunch
And One of them advised the other, okay I accept that One Shouldn't Sneak in other's conversations but they were talking enough loudly to avoid but well The actual advise he gave it to him was

~Bro I know You are feeling off but when I felt Off I went to my Neighbour who is a part time Doctor he advised me a tablet called as "DeltaCortil" so whenever you feel like it just take This one two times a day~

Well I felt weird that how come a Non-medical guy advise someone a drug so easily , But yeah in Pakistan but also many countries Provide drugs without Prescription and There a Chain reaction Starts

Now this Drug DeltraCortil contains Steroids, which Will give you an instant relief with some Serious Side effects that I'll tell you later on but Interesting part was I saw them again Co incidentally and What the other friend said was

~ Brother Your Medicine Did miracles for me , I just got better in a day even I advised this one to my friend as well~

And it goes on and On!

Well Recently I had my rotation in Orthopaedics and not single , not two but I Saw multiple Cases of Bones being fractured without Trauma and Surprisingly if u take Keen history from them they'll tell you that

They Used to feel unwell and They went to a Homeopathic Doctor(Hakeem) -The uneducated Ones only- and they gave him these medicine that Cured them in a day and They kept on taking them Whenever they felt unwell and even advised Their friends

The Interesting problem here is That's not the only drug , we Also prescribe Medications according to our will and how we responded to it , like if I personally Don't get better from a certain medicine (Because It wasn't diagnosed with the same disease) And My friend is prescribed the same Medicine from a Qualified Doctor , I'll make sure my friend doesn't get that medicine even if its better for him😅


So What do steroids Actually Do?


They Actually Go inside the Cells of our body and Modify the synthesis of proteins or in simple words It changes our cells and In broad sense it decreases the inflammatory process in our body hence Reliefs us from the major symptoms

Like If you are feeling un well or feverish , The steroids come in and Decrease the inflammation Leading to Relieving of symptoms , Actually not some but many symptoms hence called the Magic Pill

It is prescribed To many Disorders but according to some certain given Guidelines and Autoimmune Disease , Means those disease in which our own Immune cells attack our own body just as if our Army Attacks our country and gone Berserk

So just to stop them , Steroids come into play and Stop them and It gives such a dramatic Response that everyone loves it

Even Gym Guys Take its injections Intentionally just to gain Some good muscle mass but This Pill has Its own Dark side

Steroids As I told Stop inflammation and Stop Our Body's army so It leaves us Unprotected and Very much Vulnerable to All these Bacteria , Viruses and Fungus And They Are very keen to not miss any kind of opportunity, that's why are called opportunistic infections and When They attack OMG , They attack very badly and The one taking steroids on long terms will be stuck in an ocean of infections some of its examples are
• Pneumocystis Carinii
• Oral Candiasis
• CMV
• Cryptospordium
• Clostridium Difficle

Yeah there are a lot of names and You don't need to worry As If taken in calculated and Well monitored dosages you'll be totally safe but As I mentioned I got patients in Orthopaedics Due to steroids
They Actually do have potential side effects as well on its own without infections as

It is known to Cause Osteoporosis if taken in long terms , what is it? It means that Bones become hollow from inside and weak if you are taking it on long term and without regular checkup , Doctors tackle it by adding Supplements , And without Osteoporosis (Hollow Bones) many people Also Get their Hips totally Weak and Need surgeries on later stages

Well Just to let you know

• Acne
• Blurred vision
• Avascular necrosis
• Easy Bruising
