Hello Viewers!

We are here today to discuss on a very relevant kind of topic which is prescription in medical practice and we have with us Dr. Jyoti Monga from the Monga Ayurvedic Medi Clinic. She will be throwing light on the subject in a detailed manner. What exactly is a prescription? What is the significance of a prescription? What are the good prescriptions and what are the bad prescriptions? And, how Dr. Monga’s Clinic go about it?

Questions and Answers:

Q. What exactly is a prescription?

Answer by Dr. Jyoti Monga: Prescription is a very common word used when we visit a doctor. So, if we would summarise it, prescription is a gist of conversation between the patient and the doctor. So, it contains all the signs and symptoms that the patient has. So it is a summary of the problems that the patient has given to the doctor and the medicines that have been prescribed by the doctor. So, it contains or rather connects all the four people, i.e., the patient, doctor, the attendant looking after the patient and the chemist also. 

Q. What is the significance of prescription? Why is it so important?

Answer by Dr. Jyoti Monga: Basically, a written prescription gives a clarity to the patient that all health issues he is going through and what all instructions have been given to him and what all dos and don’ts he has to follow. In addition, what all medications he needs to take at what timings. Basically it is a synopsis that what all a patient has to follow according to the doctor in each and every manner to recover at the fastest. So basically, it establishes a bond of trust between the doctor and the patient. 

Q. Can you differentiate between a good prescription and a bad prescription?

Answer by Dr. Jyoti Monga: Yes obviously. There is a lot of difference between a good prescription and a bad prescription. You see so many prescriptions of doctors. First I would suggest every doctor to write the prescription in a readable handwriting. This is a complaint by the patients that they cannot read the prescription properly. I know that the doctors develop the habit of writing it in a flow and that is not easily understood by the patient. First of all, it should be clearly written and a good prescription should contain each and every minute detail about what all medicine has to be given and at what time it has to be taken in addition to the dos and don’ts that have to be followed properly. The lifestyle modifications that the patient has to make and refrain from promoting any OTC products are part of a good prescription. A good prescription is one in which we write the generic name of the medicines. Supposedly, a patient is having fever and supposedly we are giving Crocin that is so readily available. So, it is better to write Paracetamol, i.e., the name of the salt so that the patient can take it from anyone. 

So, this kind of prescription which follows each and every minor detail and tells the patient to follow each and everything properly is a good prescription. 

Anchor: Thank you Doctor for throwing light on this untouched topic because not many doctors practice the right prescription because many of them are quacks or unqualified doctors. With this, I conclude that whenever you visit a doctor, you must emphasize in getting the prescription written from the doctor because it is your right and whoever shies away from giving you a prescription, please be wary of visiting that doctor or practitioner next time.

Hello Viewers,

They say if you wish to know the importance of emptiness, ask a constipated person. But there is so much more associated with this element which is very common yet critical than emptiness. And we have with us Dr. Jyoti Monga from Dr. Monga Ayurvedic Medi Clinic with us, who will through more light on this subject. Welcome Dr. Jyoti Monga. And my question would be, what are the health hazards associates with constipation? How do these hazards effect a person by allergically as well as his personality? Okay! So, constipation is a very common word that is you know quite common in all the people nowadays, especially who live in a metro culture. Jise ki hum ek normal language me kabz kehte hain.

So, basically kabz jante hain sab kya hota hai but you know very few people know that what all hazards it can do to your health and what all complications it can lead to. So, the first problem that is very common people who suffer from chronic constipation is piles. Piles of many types. You know some people call it hemorrhoids, some people call is piles. Now there is another problem call anal fissure. In which crack develop on the anus. Then there is anal rectal prolapse. The rectum it prolapse. Rectum jo hota hai vo prolapse ho jata hai. So, when you pass stool to vo bahar nikal ke aata hai which is you know a very measure problem. Sometimes, it can lead to intestinal obstruction also means the stool get stuck in which the intestine explode. Means intestine jo hai apki faat skti hai. Which in itself is a very serious complication and life threatening also.

So, basically if you have constipation don’t take it lightly. If its become chronic, it can lead to this type of problems. Apart from this hazards that constipation can lead to, do you think personality of person gets affected. Obviously, you can see a person, if you don’t pass stool for one day, my god, what all problems you have. I have so many patients coming to me. They develop you know so much of bloating, peat fool jana. That leads to acidity. Har waqt patient complaint krta hai, chhatti me jalan rehti hai. Then they develop headaches, laziness.

So, you know they are lot of you know problems that occur because of constipation which disturbs the normal daily routine of a person also. Dr. Jyoti, we know that the success rate of treatment to the constipated patients is very high. What approach should you take to treat these patients? So, basically I am an ayurvedic practitioner. So, you know in Ayurveda, thing first we taught is find the cause. Hettu ko dhundo. So, if you find the cause why the patient is developing constipation, definitely your success rate would be more because you are treating according to the cause. Now it could not only be a lifestyle disorder. It could be because of an underlining disease like you have, you know thyroid.

Thyroid leads to constipation. If you keep on treating constipation and don’t treat thyroid, it would reoccur again. So, basically you have to treat thyroid first and then you know you can see the results. It does wonder, if you treat according to the cause. So, basically the patients who come to us, first of all we analysis their lifestyle. Ki unka lifestyle kaisa hai. They have a sedentary lifestyle or they have a hectic lifestyle. What is their dietary pattern? Vo kaisa khana khate hain. Are they more into junk food, are they more into refine food or somebody who has come is on a weight loss plan. So, basically people are onto a high protein diet. Which also leads to constipation. So, you first have to analyse. What is the cause and after that treat accordingly?

So, this only helps us to give good results to a patient and then we give them the schedule according to the lifestyle. So, that they don’t have a drastic change. We just give them the small tips that they have to include in their daily schedule. So, that you know it is not a burden for them. SO, that they can enjoy that thing. It turns magical. The treatment is magical. If patient starts enjoying the treatment, you know than it works wonder to the patients and obviously to us also. Thank you so much Dr. Jyoti.
