Therapeutic indications
An indication is a term used for the list of condition or symptom or illness for which the medicine is prescribed or used by the patient. For example, acetaminophen or paracetamol is used for fever by the patient, or the doctor prescribes it for a headache or body pains. Now fever, headache and body pains are the indications of paracetamol. A patient should be aware of the indications of medications used for common conditions because they can be taken over the counter in the pharmacy meaning without prescription by the Physician.
Most pregnancy tests look for a substance called human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). When a woman is pregnant -- that is, when a fertilized egg implants itself in her uterus -- her body starts making HCG, which the test will find in her urine. HCG will not be present in a woman’s urine if she is not pregnant.
When used correctly, these tests are a very accurate way to find out if you’re pregnant. However, they don’t work so well if you use them too early -- in most cases, before you miss your period.
