MISUSE OF ANTIBIOTICS........!

in steemstem •  7 years ago 

Antibiotics are effective treatments for curing infections and speedy recovery from illness. Misuse of antibiotics is a problem in countries across the world, but it is particularly prevalent in the South where people use them to treat any minor infections, with or without a doctor's prescription.

Inappropriate use of antibiotics frequently leads to the development of resistant train's of the bacteria that caused the infections, this means that in future, these antibiotics will not be effective in treating infections.

Excessive use of antibiotics also unnecessarily increases the cost of treatment.

COMMON MISUSES OF ANTIBIOTICS INCLUDE,

  1. Prescribing antibiotics whenever no bacterial infection exists.

  2. Prescribing the wrong drugs or wrong dose to treat infections.

  3. Choosing an expensive drug when an equally effective or slightly less effective one can be adequate.

  4. Prescribing antibiotics for longer than necessary.

  5. Not finishing the course of treatment.

I wanna advise everyone's that please, don't administered drug for your self without the doctor prescription because it leads to abuse or misuse of antibiotics.
