Drugs

Drugs are substances that can be helpful or harmful to our bodies. Helpful drugs, like medicine prescribed by a doctor, can make us feel better when we are sick. Harmful drugs, like those not prescribed by a doctor, can be dangerous and should only be used under the guidance of a trusted adult. Always ask a trusted adult before taking any medicine.
