Antibiotics are strong medications used for infections that are caused by bacteria. Antibiotics have changed the life of the human race and have been saving millions of lives ever since they have been discovered. Examples of antibiotics include: Amoxicillin, Ciprofloxacin and Azithromycin. Antibiotics remove bacteria or inhibit bacterial growth, allowing the body to overcome infection.
Antibiotics can treat bacterial infections such as strep throat, urinary tract infections, pneumonia and skin infections but they are useless against viruses so they cannot treat the common cold, flu or many sore throats. Incorrect and too frequent use of antibiotics can contribute to antibiotic resistance, this is a serious global health concern resulting from bacteria developing a resistance to antibiotics.
Always take the antibiotics as prescribed. An incomplete course, missed doses or sharing medication with others can all cause antibiotics to be less effective and encourages the development of resistance. The antibiotics may cause side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, allergy or diarrhea, a sore mouth or human thrush, but most people tolerate antibiotics well.
Health professionals may advise extra remedies in addition to antibiotics such as drinking plenty, resting and eating healthily. In more serious infections, treatment can involve the use of several antibiotics at once or longer courses of antibiotics.
Learning about antibiotics is important. Never self prescribe or request antibiotics for viral illnesses. Knowledgeability on the part of public and prudent prescribing will ensure these vital agents continue to be available.
In conclusion, antibiotics has to be used properly and responsibly in the treatment of bacterial infections. Good practice, right commitment and knowledge about the limits of antibiotics ensure successful treatment and make sure that antibiotics can be used efficiently without resistance developing.
