It happens that a doctor prescribes medications to a patient, but they do not work properly.

Pulmonologist Alexey Moiseyev explained why exactly this happens, writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta .

As the doctor noted, the main reason is that some men and women prefer not to seek help from professionals, but self-medicate.

However, people often prescribe antibiotics for themselves when they have a cold or flu, but such actions only cause harm.

The fact is that the body gets used to such drugs and then stops responding to them.

Therefore, such serious drugs should be taken only after a doctor's prescription. Self-medication with such drugs can even be dangerous.

In addition, if a doctor has prescribed a course of antibiotics, it is important to complete it completely. When treating with such drugs, preference should be given to narrow-spectrum antibiotics.
