8 rules for using antibiotics

There is a certain algorithm for the use of antibacterial agents. All its components are very important and cannot be changed. Otherwise, the effectiveness of antibiotics is noticeably reduced, they can be harmful.

Eight basic rules of antibacterial treatment:

1. Rule 1 - you need to accurately observe the time of taking, maintaining equal intervals between the use of drugs. Compliance with this rule will help maintain the desired concentration of the active agent in the blood. With 3 doses, the interval is 8 hours, with 2 times - 12 hours. Drinking pills or injections should be strictly at the same time.
2. Rule 2 - the period of taking drugs is determined by the doctor. It cannot be less than 5-7 days, less often it is equal to 10-14 days.
3. Rule 3 - Self-dose adjustment is prohibited. A decrease or increase in the dose of the drug leads to a decrease in its effectiveness, the emergence of resistance of pathogenic microbes to the antibiotic. An increase in dosage threatens with side effects.
4. Rule 4 - a break in treatment cannot be done without consulting a doctor. Having started taking antibiotics, the patient should not interrupt it on his own. Improving your well-being is not a reason to stop treatment. It is advisable to extend the drug intake for 2-3 days after a steady improvement in health. If the patient does not feel better 3 days after the start of taking the medicine, the drug should be replaced, since the antibiotic is not suitable.
5. Rule 5 - you should take into account the peculiarities of taking antibiotics. It is very important what to drink and when to take the drug: before meals, after meals, or during it. It is best to drink the tablets with non-carbonated water, unless otherwise indicated by the drug manufacturer. Fruit and vegetable juices, tea, coffee, fermented milk drinks are not suitable for these purposes.
6. Rule 6 - diet should be followed when treating with antibiotics. Since the main active ingredients of drugs of this pharmacological group inhibit the work of the gastrointestinal tract, it is important to ease the load on the body. Alcohol, fatty, fried, canned foods, sour fruits are excluded from the diet. It is important to drink more clean water, vegetables and sweet fruits.
7. Rule 7 - after treatment, you need to restore the intestinal microflora. The antibacterial course reduces the concentration of beneficial representatives of the intestinal microflora. The patient feels heartburn, bloating, pain in the intestines and stomach, he has alternating constipation and diarrhea. To restore microflora, fermented milk products are often included in the menu, Lactofiltrum, Bifiform, Linex, Simbiter and other probiotics are taken.
8. Rule 8 - indications and contraindications for the use of drugs in this group should be taken into account. Be sure to take into account the presence of concomitant diseases, possible side effects, the patient's age, interaction with other drugs. Without medical advice, it is forbidden to treat children, pregnant and lactating women, patients who have recently suffered a serious illness with antibiotics.

Side effects from the use of antibiotics

Different groups of antibacterial agents differ significantly from each other. They often have unexpected side effects. So, for example, drugs from the penicillin group are low-toxic drugs, but in some patients they still cause allergic reactions.

Frequent side effects:

• Allergic dermatitis (skin rash, itching, urticaria);
• Candidiasis of the oral and vaginal mucosa;
• Anemia;
• Renal and hepatic impairment;
• Hematological reactions (anemia, decreased blood clotting);
• Local reactions (phlebitis with i / v, dermatitis, induration with i / m).

The use of antibiotics in the treatment of periodontitis is often justified, since they avoid serious complications. If the rules of treatment with drugs of this group are observed, a lasting effect can be achieved.
