taking more cold syrup than listed on the label  

Explanation:

Taking medicine in larger quantities than what is listed on the label or in larger quantities than you need is an example of drug abuse. This is a very dangerous attitude that can cause numerous health problems.

Indiscriminate use of medications has caused a considerable increase in health problems such as digestive bleeding.

The big problem with medicines is that most of them don't work directly on the troubled part of the body. As doctors warn, medicines need long journeys within the body until they reach the desired target. In this process, which causes medicines to visit the stomach and liver frequently, strange sensations such as stomach burns may occur.
