Don't Self-Medicate With Antibiotics, Painkillers: CDSCO

CDSCO warns against misuse of painkillers and antibiotics, citing chronic kidney disease risk. These drugs should be taken only when clinically needed, under a doctor's supervision. Antibiotics must not be used for self-medication or shared. Pharmacists must follow sale rules; hospitals must strengthen monitoring to prevent kidney damage and antimicrobial resistance.
