Using supplements without prescription can pose risks such as adverse interactions with medications, overdosing on certain nutrients like vitamins, and potential contamination or quality issues. Without medical supervision, it's easy to exceed safe limits or choose ineffective products. Consulting a healthcare provider ensures supplements are safe and appropriate for individual health needs

I've never taken supplements without a prescription because there are risks involved. They can interact with medications, cause side effects, or lead to overdosing. Since supplements aren't always regulated for safety and efficacy, it's best to consult a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement to ensure it's safe and appropriate for your needs.

When I use supplements without a prescription, I know there are risks. They could interact with any medications I'm taking, and I might not get the dosage right. Some supplements may even have harmful ingredients or contaminants. If I overuse them, it could lead to toxicity or imbalances. Without professional advice, I might end up with ineffective or unnecessary products, wasting money and potentially harming my health.

It's not right to use supplements without prescription but unfortunately, most of do that! Unprescribed supplements can cause adverse effects like allergic reactions or some underlying conditions.
