What's are Antibiotics?

Since these discoveries antibiotics have been used effectively in fighting bacterial related diseases or infections. However they are not without their unique odd and limitations too, although the former is minor as noted above.


How do antibiotics help us fight off infections?

These are drugs that destroy microorganisms or prevent them from reproducing in our body. They are designed to work against specific bacterial activities including cell wall synthesis, protein synthesis or DNA replication without effecting any human body cell. For example, Penicillins demolish the bacterial cell envelope and the bacteria dies due to bursting.

These are important in treating bacterial conditions such as pneumonia, UTI and sepsis among other diseases.


What are some side effects of taking antibiotics?

As it is helpful, antibiotics can also have side effects. Some common side effects include:

Gastrointestinal issues: Vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach ache.

Allergic reactions: Diffuse skin rashes, swelling or in rare instance anaphylactic shock.

Disruption of gut flora: Antibiotics destroy good bacteria in the body which results in things such as yeast or a C. diff infection.

Why is antibiotic resistance a problem, and how can we avoid it?

Antibiotic resistance is the act by which bacteria are able to survive through the devastating effects of the antibiotics. Infections become more challenging to manage, push up costs, and boost the duration of disease, and mortality level. The type of diseases that can no longer be cured by regular antibiotics include Tuberculosis and Gonorrhea.

How to Avoid It

Complete the prescribed course: Interrupting a course also leads to development of bacteria which in one way or another remain alive in order to develop resistance.

Avoid self-medication: The consumption of antibiotics without prior consultation with a doctor results in misuse.

Promote better hygiene: Reducing the risk of infections which is by washing your hand and using vaccines.


Do antibiotics affect our immune system?

Antibiotics, Immunity & You: What You Should Know

Nothing can be so naive as to say that antibiotics weaken the human immune system, as they do not have such a direct effect on it. But they can influence ITC by changing the population of good bacteria in the gut that are known to impact immunity levels. Taking antibiotics also may have long-term effects on the disease immunity, as the human body gradually becomes less able to negotiate mild pathogens independently.

Can we treat diseases without using antibiotics?

The situations when disorders can be controlled without bacterial agents have been identified. In case of viral infections, the prescription of antiviral drugs or other consulted therapies, including bed rest and water intake fulfills the purpose. Minor bacterial infections can be treated naturally together with enhancing the body’s immunity to fight the bacteria by taking a healthy diet and the assimilation of probiotics drugs. They also help in the prevention diseases and thus the rate of using antibiotics is brought down.


How can we use antibiotics responsibly?

It is crucial to work against and prevent antibiotic resistance and the latter is impossible without using antibiotics responsibly, That means prescribing antibiotics for only those illnesses in which their use evidenced to be safe and effective; avoiding using antibiotics for viral conditions, taking antibiotics only when prescribed and, most importantly, completing the prescribed course. Here are some best practices:

Follow medical advice: Everyone should bear in mind that antibiotics should be consumed as prescribed by a doctor.

Do not share antibiotics: Drugs takenby one individual maybe unsafe for another.

Dispose of leftovers properly: Antibiotics should not be stored for later use, either.

Educate others: Strengthen observation and knowledge about the threats of misuse and resistance.


Conclusion

Antibiotics can be viewed as a two-edged sword. Though they are effective in eradicating bacterial infections their wrongful use may result in effects such as antibiotic resistance. In knowing how to use them, possible effects, and when to use them; then the chances of their efficiency being compromised will not be loopholed for the next generational use. Please consult the healthcare professional before you start or stop the antibiotic treatment process.

Hola querido
Siempre lo he dicho y lo sostengo, los antibióticos deberían ser bien administrado pero por personal medico y no por cualquier persona que vaya a la farmacia, creo que por eso la penicilina es de los primeros antibióticos pero de los menos efectivos hoy en dia, la resistencia bacteriana es algo que pone en riesgo nuestra vida.

Off course the penceline is first antibiotics but now a day's that is not affective for minor infection because we use it's with our own desire and daily basis so we need to get Ride from overdose and self medication. And thanks Dear for your kind evolution about my Blog
