We can reduce it by using different antibiotics, by using them less often and fight the illness in a different maybe natural way and finally by taking the whole course of the antibiotics instead of just taking them until you feel better.


Why should't doctores over prescribe antibiotics?

Because the organisms that the antibiotics kill (to make you better) evolve resistance to the antibiotics when they are exposed to them. This means that the more the exposure (prescribing) the faster resistance develops. Antibiotics should therefore ONLY be used when really needed and taken EXACTLY as they are meant to. Stopping a dose of antibiotics before a full course of treatment is worse than over prescribing.

Nursing interventions for anthrax involve administration of appropriate antibiotics, monitoring for signs of infection, providing supportive care such as IV fluids and oxygen therapy, and educating patients about the importance of completing the full course of antibiotics.

Why is it harmful for patients not to continue the whole course of antibiotic treatment?

If you stop taking your antibiotics before the full course of treatment is complete, you may kill only some of the bacteria that caused the infection. Worse yet, the remaining bacteria may have some resistance to the antibiotics. It is also important to take antibiotics only when prescribed by a doctor, and in particular do not take antibiotics for a virus (such as the common cold or the flu). Antibiotics have no effect on viruses.
