Some people use antibiotics for almost every ailment including flu and malaria. Antibiotics should not be used anyhow, but our people will not hear.

Your are right. But it's because of a lack of awareness and failure of the Ministry of Health and government to highlight the dangers and enforce policies that prevent abuse.
When I lived in Nigeria every tom, dick and harry can go to a pharmacy to buy antibiotics. When I moved to Europe I realised I couldn't. That antibiotics can only be prescribed by a doctor.
Even the doctors here are very reluctant to prescribe antibiotics .Not so much for the immunity depletion mentioned in the original post but because microbes in your body when exposed to heavy doses of a particular type of antibiotics start to adapt and become immune to the antibiotics. This essentially makes that particular type of antibiotics ineffective in your own body when targeting that particular strain of microbes . Nature is crazy!

The way some girls drink Beecham ampiclox like they are taking paracetamol is alarming and at the detriment of their health.

No oo, don't even try it.. At least if your antibiotics was prescribed by a doctor or health professional.


I'm also on a dosage for an infection... Your infection could get worse if you don't complete your dosage.

Don't dare take Gentamycin anyhow. You'll be inviting kidney failure if u do.

It is true some ailments leave on their own without anti-biotics and it is true that anti-biotics could be a life-saving thing to use. I like that we may take probiotics with them and that you most finish the course of prescription and not stop halfway if anti-biotics become necessary.

Cuz if you can get An STI from her... She isn't to be trusted, and besides the worse can happen... Like getting an incurable STD.
