Following the recommended dosage and duration of drug treatment is important. Overdosing can harm both humans and the environment and does not lead to faster recovery. Additionally, the body excretes much more of the active substance or its breakdown products as a result. This unnecessarily burdens water bodies, which can harm aquatic organisms, such as frogs.
