because germs grow immune to some medicine because it is misused
Antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops must be used for at least six weeks after surgery. Additional medicines may be prescribed to reduce scarring.
I don't like this answer but after some online reading it seems that in order for an antibiotic to be effective there must be a certain level of it in you blood throughout the course of treatment meaning that yes you must take it every 6 hours out of 24.
I live by this axiom: "In every medicine there's a little poison" Of course by that I mean ALL medications have side effects and must be used rather than ABused.
Yes. It is a good antibiotic to be taken during pregnancy. But then, it is an antibiotic, which must be prescribed by the qualified physician.
Thrombopenia (thrombocytopenia) is a condition that does not require an antibiotic. It is a problem with clotting. As far as pyelonephritis, whatever is causing this inflammation of the kidney must be have tests. Usually blood tests will show bacteria or viral antibodies. If a virus, no antibiotic is given. As far as the bacteria, the antibiotic is specific.
No, but you must keep your fingers away from your mouth and use an antibiotic prescribed by your doctor.
I am now taking Sozim (Lysozyme Chloridge) tablet, the pharmacist said it is not same as antibiotic capsule/tablet, you can stop taking it once you feel better. For antibiotic capsule/tablet, you must finish a course say 5 day prescription...
Ophthalmic means for, or about the eyes. Topical means intended for use on the body surfaces, usually only the skin, but sometimes medicines intended for the inside of the mouth (but not swallowed) or other mucus tissues in body cavities, like in and near the rectum, vagina, etc. could also be considered topical. Always follow the label directions when using medications and apply topical and ophthalmic drugs only as directed by the label or by your health care professional. If you aren't sure, ask the dispensing Pharmacist for clarification on the administration. Sometimes medicines intended for the skin near the eyes are categorized as both topical and ophthalmic preparations, since they must be safe for administration to an area that could allow the medicine to come in contact with the eyes even though applied to the eye lids or other tissues near the eye. Eye antibiotic ointments may be prescribed for use in and/or near the eyes, be sure to ask the Pharmacist if you are not sure how to administer any types of medicines.
Absolutely not!. An inflamed appendix is a medical emergency and must be treated immediately.
An antibiotic must be able to eliminate or reduce the bacteria causing an infection, but at the same time not harm the human or animal host. Extensive testing is done for both criteria.
All antibiotics must be taken as directed and for as long as the doctor ordered. Stopping short because "you feel better", is always a bad idea and promotes antibiotic resistance.
No, there is no such law.
