10 Facts About Antibiotics

Here are 10 Facts About Antibiotics :

► Antibiotics are medicines used to treat infections caused by bacteria.
► Antibiotics are usually taken by mouth, but can sometimes be given into a vein (intravenous), into a muscle (intramuscular) or applied to the skin (topical).
► Antibiotics work by killing bacteria and/or preventing their growth.
► Different types of antibiotics treat different kinds of infection.
► Antibiotics are commonly prescribed for respiratory infections, but most of these are caused by viruses not bacteria.
► Most patients are prescribed antibiotics without the doctor knowing the cause of the infection.
► Colds and most coughs are caused by viruses not bacteria, so antibiotics will not help.
► If you take antibiotics when you don’t need them, they may lose their ability to kill bacteria.
► Antibiotic resistance is growing. If the bacteria keep “overpowering” the medicines we have, we may run out of ways to kill these bacteria.
► Antibiotic-resistant bacteria can cause serious infections and can be spread to others in your family.

  1. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
