| Today we hear a lot about antibiotic medical products. But what do antibiotics represent? Antibiotic medicines are chemicals obtained from germs and applied to kill bacteria or to slow their reproduction. The first antibiotic medical product was produced in 1928 by Alexander Fleming, and its creation marked a new phase in the history of medical science. These medications are widely used in the modern medicine. Doctors prescribe antibiotic medicines to the patients with infections provoked by bacteria. These medications aren't effective against the majority of viruses. That is the reason why your doctor won't always prescribe antibiotic medications when you have an infection. There are different classifications of antibiotic medical products. The most popular division is "bactericidal" medical products (their action is based on killing bacteria) and "bacteriostatic" ones (they work by preventing the reproduction of bacteria). What's more, different antibiotics are different in use. Some of them work against one type of bacteria (aka narrow-spectrum antibiotic medicines, while others can handle a wide range of infections (these ones are famous as broad-spectrum antibiotic medical products). Take into consideration that antibiotic medication is a strong drug and should be used only in accordance with the doctor's prescription. Don't think that the drug that helped your friend will be suitable for you. Most likely it will not bring positive results, it may even do much harm. You should remember that antibiotic drugs have side-actions so forget about autotherapy. Your doctor will tell you what antibiotic and for what period of time you should use it. In spite of inestimable significance of antibiotic medications in contemporary medical treatment methods you should take into account that they are medications and have certain side-actions. Though antibiotics cause serious side effects quite rarely, yet such symptoms as diarrhea and vomiting will scarcely please anybody. You should also tell your doctor about all the allergies you have because some antibiotic medical products may cause allergic reaction like itching, face swelling or skin rash. In case you notice that the use of the antibiotic medicine provoked some unusual reaction, stop its use and see your physician asap. Stay in good health and note that your health is in your hands. |
