-Antibiotics are medicines that fight bacterial infections in people and animals. They work by killing the
bacteria or by making it hard for the bacteria to grow and multiply. Sometimes the number of harmful
bacteria is excessive, and the immune system cannot clear them all. Antibiotics are useful in this
scenario.
In 1928, at St. Mary's Hospital, London, Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin. This discovery led to the
introduction of antibiotics that greatly reduced the number of deaths from infection.
Karamihan dati sa mga antibiotics ay galling sa bacteria na nakikita sa ground soil pero ngayon ay sa lab
na sya ginagawa
How to use:
-People usually take antibiotics by mouth. However, doctors can administer them by injection or apply
them directly to the part of the body with infection.
-Always follow the directions carefully. Finish your medicine even if you feel better. If you stop taking
them too soon, some bacteria may survive and re-infect you.
Contraindication:
-Hypersensitivity to prescribed antibiotics, others in its family, or components of the drug. Some
antibiotics are contraindicated in infants and children
High acid foods like Citrus fruits and juices like orange and grapefruit, soda, chocolate and tomato
products have a high acid content, which could decrease how much medicine is absorbed into your
system for certain antibiotics.
-There's an increased risk of side effects if you take 2 doses closer together than recommended.
Accidentally taking 1 extra dose of your antibiotic is unlikely to cause you any serious harm. But it will
increase your chances of getting side effects, such as pain in your stomach, diarrhea, and feeling or
being sick.

antibiotic resistance
Antibiotics are powerful medications that work very well for certain types of illnesses. However, some
antibiotics are now less useful than they once were due to an increase in antibiotic resistance.
