Medications that should not be taken together., In Tagalog, "MGA GAMOT NA BAWAL PAGSABAYIN";

*ALAXAN AT BIOGESIC
*ALAXAN AT NEOZEP
*ALAXAN AT BIOFLU
*ALAXAN AT DECOLGEN
*ALAXAN AT MEDICOL
*ALAXAN AT ADVIL
*BIOGESIC AT ALAXAN
*BIOGESIC AT DECOLGEN
*BIOGESIC AT NEOZEP
*BIOGESIC AT BIOFLU
*BIOGESIC AT TUSERAN
*BIOGESIC AT REXIDOL
*BIOGESIC AT SARIDON
*BIOGESIC AT SYMDEX-D
*TUSERAN AT BIOFLU
*SYMDEX-D AT BIOFLU
*REXIDOL AT SARIDON

Namely, because

--->Both ALAXAN and BIOGESIC have paracetamol and paracetamol overdose may lead to Liver Failure as Cancer.
--->Both NEOZEP and BIOFLU are the same drugs, they are the same Paracetamol-Phenylephrine Chlorphenamine Maleate at nagkaiba lang sa brand name.
--->Both ALAXAN and MEDICOL have Ibuprofen and they are both anti inflammatory drugs.

These drugs, once taken in huge amount may lead to liver failure as cancer, avoid drinking alcohol while taking these drugs as alcohol once combined with paracetamol will create a toxic chemical enough to destroy the function of the liver.

Also, these drugs are the primary cause of Gastric Ulcer due to its anti inflammatory effects.

Hindi po sila bawal inumin, ang BAWAL po ay ang MALING PAG-INUM ng mga ito.

Use medicines properly and follow the doctor’s advice on the correct timing of intake.
Be careful with self-medication as well — it’s not a joke to randomly take medicine into your body.
