Why do doctors give out antibiotics like oxygen? Ok that was a bit harsh, however being prescribed antibiotics is becoming easier and more worrying.
Is it something to do with the money?
For those who don’t know what antibiotics are:
n. A substance, such as penicillin or streptomycin, produced by or derived from certain fungi, bacteria, and other organisms, that can destroy or inhibit the growth of other microorganisms. Antibiotics are widely used in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases.
Layman’s terminology: they kill all the bacteria in your system, be it bad or even good, yes they kill even the good bacteria.
