An old video which has resurfaced onlne shows an episode of Anne Sansa Daly health programme on GH ONE TV, dubbed Health and Life with Dr. Daly, where she had two medical doctors Dr Thomas Ankomah of United Nations Field Hospital and Dr Lawrencia Tetteh of Supreme Specialist Hospital as guests to discuss the dangers of taking medicines without prescriptions.

She then posed a question to the guests by claiming that, as practitioners, they advise that someone with a headache can take one paracetamol before seeing a doctor. She therefore wanted to find out if there are dangers to taking more paracetamol tablets before going to see your doctor.

"I have another question about paracetamol. When we were talking, we said that if someone is suffering, let’s say from a headache, we as practitioners advise that you can take paracetamol just one time,before you go see a doctor. But what are the dangers of taking too much paracetamol?"

Dr. Thomas Ankomah, in his response to the question, shared a different view as he emphasised the importance of seeing a doctor and seeking proper care once you develop any symptom, instead of taking unprescribed medicines, which might be harmful to you.

"Aside from that, it is just right if you think that as a patient you have a symptom or illness, or probably a doctor treated you and you didn’t feel fine, there are a lot of other factors. We all have different physiology and chemistry. If that drug does not work for you and you think you are not comfortable, just go and see your doctor, and they can take it from there. Trying to treat it on your own could later cause it to develop into something else."
