Features: To adapt to the deepening of China's healthcare system and medical insurance reform, as well as the gradual implementation of drug classification management, and to meet the public's need to learn about medical and pharmaceutical knowledge in the new context, a group of medical and pharmaceutical professionals in Wuhan who are passionate about community healthcare and pharmaceutical services, with the active support of Hubei Science and Technology Press, compiled a 10-volume popular science series titled "Safe Drug Use: You and Me." The series includes 10 categories of drugs, some of which are over-the-counter medications, while others are prescription drugs, but all are clinically common medications. The authors strive to introduce the pharmacological knowledge of these common drugs, potential adverse reactions, and common pitfalls in medication practice to readers in a simple, accessible, and lively language. Through leisure reading during spare time, readers can elevate their understanding of medication principles and enhance their medical knowledge. This not only helps to strengthen self-medication awareness, enabling us and our families to receive timely and effective over-the-counter treatment but also, when we or our family members suffer from serious illnesses and need medical attention, the medical knowledge gained from daily reading will assist us in communicating smoothly with healthcare providers and obtaining rational treatment. After all, our own health should involve our active participation and attention.
