Are people today too reliant on prescription drugs? 

Depending on what we are, the answers may well vary, and they all make sense. Besides, each case has a unique situation, so doctors should determine its validity. But in my view, people don’t seem to heavily reliant on them, at least at this time. Now let me explain the details.     

First, prescription drugs are important to our life as it is. For example, they effectively treat diseases, take pain, and bring better sleep. Plus, some medical situations such as high blood pressure demand prescribed medicine, in order to control symptoms and support good quality of life. As long as drugs are properly prescribed, it won’t cause problems.     

Next, unfortunately I understand some may abuse these drugs. Because the strong effects of prescription drugs can make some people become too reliant on them. But thanks to “medical insurance system,” many people use prescription drugs properly.           

So, while prescription drugs are sometimes misused, we can’t assume that society doesn’t rely on them too heavily. But it is always important that we should be careful about their proper use. Thank you for your attention. [182 Words Type-Q]
