Our country has very high accessibility to medicine.
That's why almost everyone is taking one or two types of medication.
But are you taking those medications properly? People buy and take them for a variety of reasons: someone recommended them, it's the most popular product on an online search, it looks good on an ad, it's on sale, etc. However, few people actually check to see if they're taking the right medication for them and whether they're taking it correctly.
In such cases, take out 『Alseul Shinyak』.


■ An essential guidebook to keep at home and refer to whenever needed
"What medication should I take in this situation? What's right for me? I'm taking it because others say it's good, but is it really effective? There are so many medications out there. Which one should I choose?"
This is a worry that everyone has had at least once.
When you want to ask something, but you're too embarrassed to ask, and you're too curious to ask.
The answer is in 『All-Useful Medicine』.
We used simple language so that even those without medical knowledge could understand it, and the subtopics were structured with situation-appropriate questions rather than difficult drug ingredients or names, so you can immediately resolve your questions.
This will be your essential guide to household medicine and nutritional supplements, as it contains carefully selected content that readers may be curious about, by part and chapter.

■ A drug instruction manual that corrects misunderstandings about drugs and introduces the correct way to take them.
"I heard Bacchus contains caffeine. Will I become addicted if I drink too much? When is it best to take nutritional supplements? What digestive aid should I take for indigestion and nausea? Can I take medication while pregnant? How can I boost my child's immunity? What are some good probiotics? Please tell me about the nutrients needed for older adults."
These days, it's so easy to get information about medicine.
But it is true that there is a lot of misinformation.
Medicine can be of great help to our health if taken properly, but if taken incorrectly, it can be worse than not taking it at all.
If I'm going to take medicine for my body, it would be best to take it correctly to get the best effect.
Since each medicine has different ingredients and each person has a different constitution, you must choose the medicine that is right for you.
So, the pharmacists correct misunderstandings about medicine and introduce the correct way to take medicine, including when, what medicine, and how to take it.


■ Medication guide provided directly by a practicing pharmacist through various episodes
You can stop thinking that books about medicine are difficult.
"Know-How to Use Pharmacy" is a book that tells the story of a working pharmacist's experiences while running a pharmacy, allowing you to easily and enjoyably obtain the information you need.
Additionally, by utilizing visual aids such as illustrations, photographs, and diagrams appropriate to the situation, the content that could otherwise feel stiff is made easier to understand, and unfamiliar terms are explained in detail so that you can read without difficulty.
Through sub-corners such as 'I'm curious, Yakoppa!!', 'Misconceptions and common sense', and 'Tips from Yakoppa', you can feel as if you are receiving medication guidance at your regular pharmacy by going over important parts or content that was not included in the main text.
