A prescription is very important as we do not what drugs are in the tablets, and what may cause an allergy,or even have side affects, and if a death occurs , then the doctor will get arrested.

They aren't "good",all prescription drugs have side effects,some of which are worse than the ailment they are given to treat.Its always a game of weighing up the pro's and cons the benefits versus the side effects.Some drugs do have alot of benefits with few side effects,but not many.

Pain killers are "good" at killing pain,but they also cause,nausea,constipation,diarreoha,addiction,dependancy ,mental confusion,depressed breathing and even death.

So I would not put them under the "good" catagory,they are tools and they all have faults.

Dosing and monitoring are often of importance in achieving efficacy in a safe manner. Too low of a dose (depending on body mass, kidney function, liver function, etc.) will not result in an therapeutic effect. Too high of a dose may cause injury, illness or even death.

Having multiple drugs monitored by a clinician who understands drug-drug interactions is especially important.
