Here's Why You Need To Finish Your Antibiotics
Raise your hand if you were ever prescribed an antibiotic treatment only to stop halfway, as soon as you felt better. While this is a common practice, it is one that doctors and medical professionals highly disapprove of. Here's why!
When you take antibiotics to fight off an infection, the bacteria causing it diminish the more you take the treatment. This leads to the improvement in our symptoms. Still, the treatment is unlikely to kill all the bacteria. If you stop your treatment while there are bacteria in your organism, they might multiply and cause the same symptoms again.
Even worse, not completing your antibiotic prescription may lead to antibiotic resistance. The less effective antibiotics become, the stronger some infections we used to fight of easily are. This is a public rather than an individual issue, as these infections will be harder and harder to kill with the same treatments that have proven effective up to that point.
Therefore, if your doctor prescribes an antibiotic treatment, make sure to:
💊 Finish the full course of the treatment
💊 Not use or share any leftover antibiotics
💊 Wash your hands regularly to prevent infections.
