      Too much of anything is likely to be bad for you. Your body is finely balanced and if you do something to knock that balance off (too much sugar, too much exercise, too much medicine) then you’re going to end up with problems.

      As Jen said, everything is about moderation, including medicine. Too much of a good (or bad) thing will make you ill, whether that’s sunlight, apples or medicine.

      Too much of anything isn’t good for you, even too much water and medicines are a lot more potent that water!
