RE: Antibiotics - When You Don't Need It!

in #health8 years ago

I agree with the post, and your reply. Very strong second and third argument. I have seen cases where patients did not complete their antibiotic treatment and returned to the hospital one week later with an even more severe infection than before.

Keep spreading the word!

(Please be careful to suggest types of antibiotics for some diseases. For example nitrofurantoin is the first choice in the Netherlands (bactrim second) because of very fast elimination via the kidneys and low serum levels. You should refrain from using amoxicillin because of high resistance levels of the associated bacteria (it also destroys the Lactobacillus in the female genital tract which prevents UTI's).)
