Admit it: who keeps a bottle of antibiotics in their medicine cabinet for a rainy day?
Today we suggest finding out why you shouldn’t do this and what awaits people who take antibiotics at the first symptoms of the disease without consulting a doctor.
Bacteria are different, and antibiotics are too
Only a specialist can determine the type of infection and select the correct drug for its treatment.
Even if your friends suffered from similar symptoms, this does not mean that the medications they took will suit you.
The doctor prescribes antibiotics based on the clinical picture of the disease and the characteristics of the patient's body. The treatment regimen is determined based on the test results, and the drug that most effectively fights the infection is selected.
Antibiotics have contraindications
The body is seriously burdened by taking antibiotics. For this reason, you should avoid taking some other medications while taking them. And also alcohol.
In addition, it is necessary to monitor the side effects of the drug and choose another one if the one you have chosen does not suit you.
Bacteria can "get used to it"
In case of frequent use, inadequate doses or incorrect duration of the antibiotic course, bacteria do not die, but adapt to new conditions. This is fraught with aggravation of the disease and slowing down of the recovery process.
