Antibiotics

Antibiotics are a drug used in the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections. They can both kill or slow down growth of bacteria. First discovered in 1928, antibiotics have helped to revolutionize modern medicine. With many strains now available and used worldwide, many diseases such as tuberculosis have been nearly eradicated. 

When your doctor prescribes you an antibiotic that you have not taken before, it is important to monitor yourself for side effects and how well the medication is working to eliminate your illness. Many people have found themselves to be allergic to certain antibiotics so always be upfront with your doctor about any adverse effects you have had in the past. Some antibiotics are closely related so being transparent will help to ensure you do not get prescribed anything that may cause an allergic reaction. 

It is also very important to follow your doctor and pharmacist’s instructions perfectly. Not finishing a round of antibiotics or taking antibiotics that were previously prescribed is not recommended and can cause a variety of issues. If you feel like you are dealing with an illness that requires antibiotics, never take any without doctor’s approval or their recommendation. 

Due to their effectiveness and affordability, antibiotics are a great tool for treating a variety of illnesses. Taken under proper direction and supervision, they can offer a quick recovery for what is ailing you.
