Antibiotics are serious drugs that can only be prescribed to a patient by a doctor.

Self-medication and taking such medications is prohibited without appropriate recommendations. Otherwise, there is a risk of causing serious harm to the body.

“The person is recovering despite treatment, while putting his flora to a serious test,” the doctor told Radio Sputnik .
