Why should you take your antibiotics?
If you dont take all of your antibiotics the bacteria will continue to grow and its DNA will change so it will become resistent to the antibiotics
How Much Amoxicillin should you take for an IUD?
An IUD is a choice of birth control.... I dont think you take antibiotics for birth control... you take antibiotics for infections.

Why disease cause by virus cannot be treated with antibiotics?
antibiotics have a purpose to kill only bacteria.Only for few viral diseases drugs have been found.Virus cannot be killed by antibiotics but when there is a viral attack our immune system is severely comprimised hence we take antibiotics to prevent any bacterial diseases these include hiv aids and flu
Why antibiotics work against bacteria but not viruses?
Since viruses invade our cells, and take over our DNA, we cannot use antibiotics against them because they would have to get inside of our cells to kill the viruses. That would mean that our cells would also be killed by the antibiotic.
Is it ok to take morphine with antibiotics?
It is fine to take a narcotic pain killer with antibiotics. Remember that morphine is highly addictive and dangerous if you take extra. Remember to take all of your antibiotics, even after you start to feel better. You want to kill all the bacteria and not leave any hiding in your body!
What are antibiotics useful for?
Antibiotics are used to fight bad bacteria/infection, although they just attack all cells in the body both good and bad. It is important to take antibiotics as prescribed and to take the entire dose. If you do not take the whole prescription, the antibiotics will attack only the good cells and leave your body more susceptible to another infection or illness. You can also find probiotics and a prescription is not required for taking them. You can order them online.It is also important to note that antibiotics SHOULD NOT be used for colds or the flu (including H1N1). These illnesses are caused by viruses, which are not responsive to antibiotics. Taking antibiotics is useless when you have the cold/flu.
What is the correlation between antibiotic use and thrush?
Antibiotics kill the bad bacteria which make us sick, but they also kill the good bacteria that our bodies need. The good bacteria actually help keep the "bugs" at bay, so when we take antibiotics and they kill all the bacteria (good and bad) we are then more susceptible to other problems, such as thrush. This can usually be avoided by taking pro biotics (cultured yogurt) or acidophylus tablets which replace the good bacteria in our bodies. You can take them while taking antibiotics, but can also take them full time, even when not taking antibiotics.
How do you take care of a baby cat with no mom?

What are some comparisons between penicillin and antibiotics used today?
All antibiotics have the same goal. To kill bacterial (prokaryotic) cells while not harming human (Eukaryotic) cells. There are a few differences between the two cell types that can be targeted. Penicillin targets the peptidoglycan cell wall. Essentially it breaks down the cell wall and the cell dies because it can not control the osmotic pressure that it experiences. There are many antibiotics (beta lactam antibiotics) that still use this same mechanism to kill bacterial cells. A common example would be amoxicillin. Another common target is protein synthesis. Cellular life requires proteins and lots of them. All proteins are constructed by ribosomes. The bacterial ribosome is a little bit different than eukaryotic ribosomes. Because of this difference it is possible to inhibit the function of the ribosome and kill bacterial cells, but not harm human cells. A common example of this type of drug is Azithromycin or a Z-pack. Different antibiotics are chosen for different types of infections. Some are more invasive and require more potent antibiotics, some respond better to different antibiotics, and some are completely resistant to certain antibiotics. This is why doctors should submit specimens for a culture and sensitivity test. These take about 3-5 days to finish, but they provide the most accurate method for diagnosis and treatment.
Why don't anitibiotics work on virus?
Antibiotics do not work on viruses because viruses are not cells which can take in and out or be infected by specific processes.
