Antibiotic It is not a drug that can be used arbitrarily and must be used for the right disease, in the right dosage, at the right time, with the guidance of a doctor/pharmacist. Antibiotics only treat infections caused by bacteria, not viruses.

1. So what are antibiotics?

Antibiotics are drugs that kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria, thereby reducing the inflammatory response caused by bacteria. Antibiotics have different effects on each type of bacteria. Some antibiotics are effective on many strains of bacteria called broad-spectrum antibiotics, others are effective on certain strains of bacteria called broad-spectrum antibiotics. narrow spectrum.

2. What effects do antibiotics have and do not have?

Most bacteria that live naturally in the human body are not harmful. Some of them may be beneficial because they participate in metabolic processes and protect the body from disease-causing bacteria.

Antibiotics are used to treat diseases caused by bacteria, for example: sinusitis, dental infections, skin and soft tissue infections, meningitis, urinary tract infections, upper respiratory infections, respiratory infections. lower respiratory tract… Colds, flu, bronchitis, cough, sore throat, are often caused by viruses and in this case, using antibiotics will not be effective.

Side effects of antibiotics:

Antibiotics often have side effects on the digestive system because they kill beneficial bacteria in the intestines. Common side effects are vomiting, diarrhea, indigestion, abdominal pain, etc. In addition, some antibiotics have side effects on other organ systems such as the nervous, cardiovascular, hematopoietic system, and urinary system, especially in cases of overdose.

Antibiotic resistance:

Antibiotics are an effective tool in treating bacteria when used carefully and safely. Inappropriate use leads to antibiotic resistance, because bacteria are “trained” and develop resistance to the drug. At that time, antibiotics will no longer be effective in killing bacteria, and the patient will need to be treated with a broader, stronger spectrum of antibiotics. In addition, when bacteria become “multi-resistant” or “super resistant”, no antibiotics will be effective and the patient is at risk of death because there is no longer a suitable treatment drug.

3. How to treat antibiotics most effectively?

– Not all antibiotics have the same effect, so do not use antibiotics prescribed to someone else for a different indication.

– You need to protect yourself from harmful microorganisms by washing your hands regularly with soap and clean water.
