Filipinos spend a lot of money each year on health product on health
products ranging from over-the-counter (OTC) drugs to cosmetics. Health
Products help relieve symptoms, aid curing illness, and provide cosmetic effects.
Sadly, many of these are not needed, do not provide the advertised effect, and
may have the potential to harm our health.
a. Over-the-Counter (OTC) Drugs- More than half a million of OTC health
care products are available, varying from mouthwashes to pain relievers. Even
some of the most beneficial OTC drugs can be unsafe. The following are
examples of the risks of using these drugs:

 Pain relievers like aspirin and

ibuprofen can harm the stomach lining
and lead to ulcer, while large dosages
can bring kidney damage.
 Acetaminophen, which is commonly
used for fever and pain reliever for
children, if taken in heavy doses can
cause bleeding and liver pain. These
pain relivers should be taken with
food and a glass of water to avoid irritation to the stomach lining.
 Prolonged used of nasal sprays that relieve congestion can cause blood
vessels in the nose to swell and can worsen congestion. This is called
the rebound effect. It can also result to bleeding and loss of the sense
of smell.
 Frequent use of laxatives destroys flora in the intestinal tract, making
constipation even worse. Exercise and high-fiber diet are safer
alternatives for promoting normal defecation.

b. Cosmetic Products- Many Health Care products are intended for external
use. Some have little effect but due to advertising campaigns and
misconceptions, they are extensively used by the public.
 Skin Care Products- OTC skin rejuvenators
have never shown efficacy in changing skin
properties. Moisturizers prevent the skin from
drying for only limited period time.
Deodorants and anti-perspirants help control
body odor but no product can prevent
sweating in extremely hot weather or during exercise. Sweating is the
primary means of cooling the body. Regular washing is essential if the
bacteria and other odor-causing substances are to be removed.

 Hair Care Products- Several products are
designed to removed hair, like shaving.
Tweezer used to pluck unwanted hair might
present some danger of infection when
adjacent skin is not clean. Chemical products
are usually safe but there is always the possibility of skin reactions,
irritations, and infections. A dermatologist should be consulted
whenever symptoms appear.
 Oral Care Product- Oral products include
toothpaste, mouthwashes, and gargles. Water
supply containing fluoride also helps prevent dental
cavities. It is unwise to purchase toothpaste with
whiteners because it contains abrasive elements
that damage the teeth. Mouth washes and gargles
do little to eliminate bad odor or treat a sore
throat. Odors are carried from the intestines to the
lungs. Bad breath may be a symptom of infections,
tumors, or diabetes. Excessive use of mouthwash
can dry the mucous membranes, making the throat even more irritated.
C. Health Services
Activities that are done to assess, maintain, or improve the
individual’s health can be considered as health services. Theses also
include the diagnosis and the treatment of illness, injuries, or disabilities.
How are health services evaluated?
Evaluation of health Services is an important element in the definition of
an adequate and affordable health care system. For A health care company, it is
essential to understand how its consumers perceive and value its products. Every
company should know how its image is perceived by potential consumers and,
when necessary, redesign products and services according to this perception.
In evaluating health services, the consumers’ preferences may be
measured in relation to these six attributes, namely:
1. Location of service points
2. Effectiveness of doctors, clinics, and hospitals
3. Promptness and kindness when caring for patients and family
members;
4. Ease of access to the authorization forms for consultations;
5. Price; and
6. Diversity of available doctors, clinics and hospitals.

The Philippine Health Insurance
Corporation (PhilHealth) was established in
1995 to create a universal health coverage
for the Philippines. It is a government-
controlled corporation (GOCC) and is
attached to the Department of Health. It
states its goal as insuring a sustainable
national health insurance program for all.
HMO means “Health Maintenance
Organization”. HMO plans to offer a wide
range of health care services through a
network of providers who agrees to supply
services to members. Health insurance
is insurance against the risk of incurring medical expenses among individuals. It
covers medical expenses for illness, injuries, and other conditions.
What are some ways to buy health products and services intelligently?
1. READ. Read the labels and look for information pertaining to the nutritional
quality of food. Read carefully and critically health-related advertisements. Read
the local laws and regulations that will protect you as a consumer.
2. COMPARE. Compare the products and services and judge for yourself which
among the products are useful, beneficial, and effective. Buy generic drugs when
they are available because they are also effective and comparably cheaper.
3. INQUIRE. Ask direct questions to sales personnel if there are things about the
product that are not clear to you before buying it.
