- Why you can't prescribe medicines that are unnecessary by licensing and Board Certification mandate.
- Why antibiotics don't work for viral illnesses (see related questions).
- Why medicines should not be taken unless absolutely necessary and explain the side effects and risks associated with antibiotic use that should not be taken unnecessarily.
- How you would contribute to creating new antibiotic-resistant bacteria if you were to do as the patient directed.
- That "flesh-eating bacteria" (MRSA) mutated into existence when doctors in the past began doing this when patients demanded antibiotics to treat themselves, despite the medical professional's advice.
- Why a patient who attempts to treat himself has a fool for a patient.
- Why you have MD after your name and they do not.
- And if they continue to insist on your doing what you can not ethically do, give them information on where to find a different doctor currently accepting new patients.

Antibiotics (literally against life) are used to treat bacterial infections. Since bacteria are living organisms, antibiotics are engineered to fight the bacteria which are making the patient sick.

For this reason, it is important that patients read the information that comes with specific antibiotics to determine how the medication reacts with meals or other medications. As always, make sure to fully read information that comes with any prescription and follow the instructions carefully.
