Why is oxygen a miracle drug according to ads?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oxygen...: If a person's oxygen level is below normal, supplemental oxygen is prescribed to keep the oxygen level in a more normal range. Oxygen, when carefully prescribed, decreases a person's morbidity and mortality rates. However, too much oxygen can also be harmful, especially to the lungs, so oxygen therapy must be carefully prescribed and monitored by a doctor.
