Medicines that are taken on your own mind are dangerous

If antibiotics are misused or the course is not completed, the bacteria causing the infection in the body become stronger. At one stage the antibiotic does not work on the bacteria. The problem of developing antibiotic resistance in bacteria is called 'antibiotic resistance' in medicine.

Nowadays, along with the increase in disease, the trend of antibiotic consumption has also increased manifold. Many people start taking antibiotics to cure their illness, either by doctor's advice or by buying them on their own. Worse still, many people stop taking antibiotics without completing the course once they get a little better.

If antibiotics are not used in the right amount and for the right time, the harmful bacteria in the body are not completely destroyed. The bacteria that survive become stronger in the patient's body. As a result, when antibiotic drugs are used in the patient's body later, then the antibiotic drugs no longer work. This condition is called antibiotic resistance in medicine.

Antibiotic resistance is a change in the DNA of bacteria that enables them to escape the effects of antibiotics designed to kill or reduce their numbers. The rapid spread of these resistant bacteria threatens public health.

Not just completing the course, but not taking the prescribed dose of antibiotics can cause problems. For example, a person is prescribed two antibiotics a day. This time he might be taking one medicine a day for some reason, in that case too there might be a problem. Later this drug may not work in the body. Therefore, the medicine should be taken according to the rules prescribed by the doctor. And if you forget to take this medicine, take it as soon as you remember. You can avoid danger only if you follow this rule.

Not finishing the dose of antibiotics is just as harmful as it is dangerous to take this medicine on your own without need! In that case there can be multiple side effects. Antibiotic resistance may also increase. So don't forget to take this medicine on your own mind. Antibiotics can be taken only as per doctor's advice.

Most of the antibiotics used in the country are almost 90 percent ineffective. Recently, this information has emerged in a study of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU). Only improper use of antibiotics is responsible for this.

Again, excess antibiotics also kill the good bacteria in the gut and stop the growth of the good bacteria. Due to which the patient suffers severe diarrhea, indigestion, nausea, fever, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, dizziness etc. Therefore, proper use of antibiotics as per doctor's advice is essential.
