Antibiotics don't help against viral diseases, so you shouldn't take them for colds and flus. Antibiotics only help against bacterial diseases, and even then you shouldn't take them w/o knowing which strain of bacteria is it that you have been infected with.
Because antibiotics kill infections and viruses are not infections.
Antibiotics have no effect when applied to viruses because antibiotics only effect on infections caused by bacteria (bacterium-single form). Viruses have their own "anti-virus" medicines, too. xD
Antibiotics have a very special purpose when it comes to dealing with viruses. Antibiotics are meant to fight off viruses.
Don't affect virues and stop the growth of bacteria
attacks only bacteria most of the time not viruses
None whatsoever! Antibiotics are only effective for bacterial infection and will do nothing to a virus.
Antibiotics have no effect on viruses, whatsoever.
If i take 600mg of antibiotics a shot. and I have a uti will it go away
None, it only effects bacteria
It has to have a host cell to reproduce then it kills that cell becausethere are so many viral disease in side the host cell. The Viral disease will continue you to kill host cell until you get an antibiotic
a Physician would not prescribe an antibiotic.
acyclovir is an antiviral medication where erythromycin is an antibiotic. herpes is a viral infection, therefore erythromycin will have no effect.
Mononucleosis is a viral disease, it is caused by a virus. Amoxicillan is an antibiotic, which means it kills disease causing bacteria. It would not affect the mono virus. So, the answer is no.
yes,it is a viral disease
antibiotic
Rabies is viral.
Yes it is viral.
In many cases, a doctor shouldn't give you medication for a viral disease because the medications are not effective in treating viral diseases. Giving out antibiotics or other medications that are not effective against the disease you have contributes to antibiotic resistence and failure of treatment.
Viral infections are curable provided they respond to an antibiotic treatment. The doctor will make a diagnosis based on lab work and will find an antibiotic that should kill the infection in the body.
False. In fact, the prescription of antibiotics for viral infections is suspected as the reason that there is a rise in antibiotic resistant bacteria in the Western world.Antibiotics 'kill' bacterial infections.Antivirals 'kill' viral infections.
Vaccines, such Fluvax, can prevent viral disease.
