People often use different preparations with a purpose which was not pursued by the pharmacology producers. Many people sometimes follow “grandmother’s advises” when get sick and need treatment. Many of them were accumulated with many years’ experience. However people often do not understand pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and side effects of the alternative medicine. Therefor we would like to highlight the most known preparations which are often used not on their purpose, to explain their mechanism of action and warn our readers against possible consequences of using preparation as cosmetics or other means. It is well known that many medicines are more often used as antiobesity agents or drugs. Today it is very acute problem because uncontrolled using of medicines may result in serious health problems. Luckily all side effects can be easily avoided if you know how to use them right. And remember – always consult a doctor before taking any drugs.
