Medicines

Medicinal products have properties for treating or preventing diseases. However, for the categories of sleeping pills, painkillers or tranquilisers, a prolonged or inappropriate use may lead to dependence and be associated with scenarios of risk for mental and physical health (for example falls, physical disorders, circulatory disorders, problems of concentration, etc.). These risks are enhanced by the simultaneous consumption of alcohol.
