00:00Hi, my name is Alma. I'm a personal trainer by profession and I've been here in the UEE
00:12for 10 years now. So my experience with over-the-counter medication, I had a very bad tricop before
00:22and I've been doing self-medication, which is I just keep on buying medication over-the-counter
00:29and it doesn't even help me get better until I finally decide to go see a doctor and he
00:38prescribed me with antibiotic and that's the time I started to feel better instantly.
00:45So I would not recommend or suggest to anyone to get a medicine by over-the-counter because
00:54you'll never know what kind of harm that can cause you in your health. So please get an advice
01:01and a proper prescription from the doctor.
