After the Anthrax attacks in 2001, the United States thousands of people taking antibiotics Cipro (ciprofloxacin) for the prevention and fear they may be exposed to deadly Anthrax bacteria.
Unfortunately, while less than one in 5000 to have the disease, about one out of five users of antibiotics to suffer serious side effects, including cells, inflammation of the throat, difficulty breathing.
Although many people believe that antibiotics are not harmful, and this potential can be dangerous infections that are health-combatants and family health if not used correctly. Here are five myths about antibiotics, and the reason for the absence of facts that can cause you harm.
Myth No. 1: It's a good idea to save the antibiotics in the event that the lack of pain.
Number one is the fear of outbreak of bird flu victims. Although there would be the use of antibiotics during a pandemic of bird flu, and antibiotics will do nothing to address a particular virus infection. In addition, the storage and antibiotics past the end of the predictable causes of differences in strength. Antibiotic Cipro because it can sit at room temperature on a rack for 2 or 3 years or more may be less strong that the cost of the deadly drug interactions. Antibiotics used after the expiration date, but can cause kidney or liver damage.
Myth No. 2. Antibiotics will help you to overcome a cold or flu.
Only to kill micro-organisms are bacteria, antibiotics (and not all antibiotics effective against all types of bacteria). Colds and influenza caused by a virus that is not affected by antibiotics. Doctors use the patient's request and accede to the antibiotics in any case, but at this time the problem of resistance to antibiotics is that most of the doctors refused to describe the symptoms of patients with this virus.
Myth No. 3. Antibiotic resistance in itself, a myth.
Unfortunately, the ability to get the bacteria resistance to antibiotics is very real. Especially when people take only part of the prescription pills, and a number of live bacteria treatment. With the violence and then the bacteria can exchange genetic material with the bacteria weaknesses, and the creation of Superstrain that can not be associated with antibiotics. This is the case with MRSA, methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and damage to the skin disease can be spread in the locker room, hot cheese, hospital and prison.
Myth No. 4. Said that he agreed to take antibiotics, although not actually sick.
Every time you take the risk of side effects of your medication. If you take antibiotics for other people and what is in the rack for a long period of time, you run the risk of serious side effects. If you try to use the antibiotics are not infected with the bacteria that cause disease, (1) the murder of symbiotic bacteria that digest and manufacture of fiber, vitamins and vitamin k in the large intestine and (2) can make a strain of bacteria that has been tame.
Myth No. 5. Said that he agreed to stop the antibiotics that once in a way that is better.
If you stop taking antibiotics before the prescription, you may feel OK to risk the short term, but the most serious injury in the long term. If you take enough antibiotics to kill 99 percent of the injury, you may be 99 percent reduction in symptoms. The problem is that last 1 percent of the bacteria survive for a few days the first treatment, and can be passed to the descendants, so that they can survive for a few days the first treatment. Next time, do you or does not affect the assistance will come quickly to antibiotics, and perhaps not at all.
It was not easy for scientists to find the latest and most powerful antibiotics. Only through the use of antibiotics is complete and accurate, we can maintain and effective to fight against new infections in the future.
