antibiotics

Are all antibiotics prescribled by doctors the same? As in those given for fever purposes the same as those given to cure acne?
Can it be bought from the pharmacy? Or just from the clinic? Can it be bought without consulation from the doctor?
Does it have any side-effects after taking for some time?
Thanks for your time in answering. =) -

What are antibiotics?
Antibiotics are strong medicines that can stop some infections and save lives. But antibiotics can cause more harm than good when they aren't used the right way.
Do antibiotics work against all infections?
No. Antibiotics only work against infections caused by bacteria. They don't work against any infections caused by viruses. Viruses cause colds, the flu, and most coughs and sore throats. -

You have the broad spectrum and narrow spectrum
Broad spectrum antibiotics are targeting a wide range of bacteria while narrow spectrum targets specific bacteria
Antibiotics are not to be abused. If you abuse them , you might add to the growing antibiotic resistant bacteria problem . Which means more expensive antibiotics or worse in the future , your bacterial infection might become so bad that it cannot be treated with any type of antibiotics at all.
Most antibiotics are nephrotoxic - toxic to the kidneys . That is probably why your doctor will tell you to drink lots of water to hydrate yourself and to cleanse out your kidneys.The more 'potent' an antibiotic is , the more toxic it is and comes with more side effects. Vancomycin which is a top level antibiotic - levels have to be done pre and post - to check that liver and renal toxicity has not occurred.
So if you guys out there wish to abuse antibiotics or not complete your antibiotics when prescribed to you. I wish you all the best and hope you will never end up with multi resistant bacterial infections coz those are a pain to treat for the doctor as well as for you. IV erythromycin hurts like a bitch
and so does azithromycin ....it is said to feel like fire going thru ur veins literally ....have heard patients screaming so badly from the pain that lignocaine has to be mixed with the intravenous antibiotic infusion to soothe them down. -

Fever is one issue, acne is another.Can it be bought from the pharmacy? Or just from the clinic? Can it be bought without consulation from the doctor?

Yes. -
he's a young doctor..Originally posted by fymk:Antibiotics, like penicillin, cephalosporins etc are used to kill bacteria only. Antivirals like acyclovir, tamiflu are used to kill viruses.
Old doctors like to give out antibiotics for mild cold or cough or fever perhaps because they probably saw Strep throat (which is linked to Rheumatic heart fever) in the old days, or they are scared of lithigation, especially when the patient demands it. The public is also under the wrong impression that antibiotics will cure everything infectious . It does not.
Antibiotic abuse is seen in medical doctors , animal vets and the farming industry and they give rise to antibiotic resistant bacteria , like Salmonella DT 104, Salmonella kiambu , Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (aka MRSA /Golden staph), Vancomycin resistant staphylococcus aureus , multi drug resistant tuberculosis , Vancomycin resistant enterococci . Those are very hard to treat. Now you even have linezoid resistant enterococci ( linezoid is the most up to date advanced and expensive antibiotic).
but maybe bcos i have been coughing for more than a mth, and having a really sore throat now, till i see blood in my phlegm, he prescribed me antibiotics.
i also hope this will help me to recover faster... -

not virus but bacteria. the bacteria will get stronger cos they may develop resistance against antibiotics. so best is to let ur own body immuse system fight the foreign invader ba... but if doc give u antibiotic, mus finish the whole course of medicine.Originally posted by Mysteria:The virus in your body will get stronger -
