Antibiotics should not be prescribed to yourself. These are serious drugs that can only be prescribed by a doctor.
The fact is that if such drugs are used excessively, treatment may become ineffective.
But these are not all the disadvantages.
The most serious of these is that such drugs can shorten life expectancy and lead to complications.
This statement was made by the chief freelance specialist in therapy and general medical practice of the Russian Ministry of Health, Oksana Drapkina, RIA Novosti reports.
In addition, as Drapkina noted during the interview, it is necessary to take such drugs only in the quantity prescribed by the attending physician.
If overused, taken for too long, or in large quantities, antibiotic use can lead to an increase in the incidence of diseases that are resistant to these drugs.
