Pro Con Prescription Drug

Even though prescription have there pros there is plenty of cons that go with prescription drugs. For example if you have a prescription for Oxycontin but the side effects that come with Oxycontin will cause you to take other prescription drug to eliminate that side effect. On the other hand if you have to take a drug for pain relief like after a surgery that drug will help you out as long as you take the certain amount that is prescribed to you. The problem is that people think just cause the prescription drug has their name on it they can take as many as they want because they know they can go back and get more. Also advertising has a lot to do with people being addicted to prescription drugs.  The reason why it plays a part is because when they see it on TV they believe that the drug is good for them and believe that they will not get addicted. I believe that prescription drug are good if used right. For example if you need the prescription drug is need to relief pain and you use it only for the time it tells you to use it for. On the other side if you get the pills for pain and you start to use them even though you don’t need them anymore which causes you to get addicted to the drug. Do you believe that prescription drugs should be harder to get? Should it be harder to get refills on prescription drugs?
