More and more people around the world are becoming addicted to drugs by consuming them, even when they are not really needed.
There are also patients who suffer from several diseases at the same time and therefore are forced to drink several different tablets every day.
Ilir Pecnikaj, a pharmaceutical expert, said on the show GoodMorning Albaninas in Euronews Albania that medications such as paracetamol mixed with caffeine create addiction, if the dose of their intake increases.
"A medication that is a mixture of caffeine and paracetamol is very popular in America and in Albania they take it thinking it comes from America. these medications are addictive, the more we take them, the more their effect falls and the amount we need to take increases. By increasing the amount, we go into overdose", explained the expert.
