COMPREHENSION.
Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
Drugs are double edged swords. They hill and kill depending on how they are used. In most rural areas in Cameroon, more and more people are resorting to auto medication because civil servants who eager to improve their financial situation, and young unemployed people who eager to earn a living, are opening patent drugstores or passing through villages with baskets of full pills. Very few users, educated or not, stop to ask themselves if the drugs they are taking is appropriate for their health.
A couple of years ago, a lady named Miss Gin offered a bottle of drink to her friend Miss Belo. Miss Belo had just bought three capsules of Metronidazole, which she swallowed down with the beer. Hours later at home, she started vomiting. Suspecting that she had been poisoned, she told her relatives what had happened before being rushed to the hospital.
At the hospital, she told the doctor what happened earlier that day. Realizing her error, the doctor explained to her that beer and Metronidazole mix at all. It was the reaction that had caused the vomiting. An antidote was prescribed and she was taken home.
When she got home, her jubilant relatives had just returned from Miss Gin house where they had smashed and destroyed her property, only to be told that the vomiting was due to drug reaction. A long lasting friendship was destroyed because of ignorance.
Information on how these substances can be if not handled by competent health care officials or drug specialists are rare. Most of the drugs that circulate in rural areas and big town through hawkers come from illegal sources and are not usually kept under the right conditions. Pharmacists insist that the trademarks or the countries of origin are not guarantees of the quality, because this can be pirated and take drugs package.
In Bamenda, efforts to prosecute the patent medicine stores ended with a court case that was quickly dismissed because the patent medicine store pay taxes into national coffers. Health authorities are constantly leading a war against these illegal operators, because the consequences of this kind of drug abuse should never be taken slightly.
