The latest antibiotics are used everywhere these days. These medicines are used in both therapeutic and surgical treatments. Antibiotics of the new generation are combined in various groups (tetracycline, penicillin, macrolides and others). Each of them has both advantages and disadvantages. However, a few decades earlier, people in large numbers died from diseases due to the lack of antibiotics in the arsenal of practicing specialists.
Proper treatment with modern drugs is, first of all, called such treatment, when prescribed, the doctor evaluates and carefully weighs all the possible risks associated with taking one or another of them. New generation antibiotics - medicines are very selective. Therefore, proper treatment should begin with the identification of the pathogen against which the action of the drug will be directed. However, often a broad-spectrum antibiotic is prescribed to the patient even before the test results are obtained. After identifying the pathogen and determining its sensitivity, the appropriate drug is prescribed.
It must be remembered that even new generation antibiotics in almost all cases negatively affect not only pathogenic bacteria, but also the beneficial intestinal microflora, destroying it. In this regard, treatment should be monitored by a doctor. It should be remembered that uncontrolled medication can lead to very sad consequences. As a rule, when taking drugs on your own, whether it is a new generation of antibiotics or any other strong drugs, a person constantly feels weakness, malaise, loss of strength. All these conditions are in no way connected with external factors. The reason lies in the side effects of the medicines themselves.
Modern antibacterial drugs are highly effective agents that inhibit the development of microorganisms. At the same time, the negative impact of these medicines on healthy and beneficial bacteria of the human body is also intensified. Sometimes it’s quite difficult to clearly say what is more in new drugs — harm or benefit.
Modern antibiotics, meanwhile, are often indispensable drugs. These medicines are used in surgery, in the postoperative period. The use of these drugs can prevent the development of various serious infections.
It should be said that antibiotics are not designed to be taken with a common cold. Experts in no case recommend self-medication, while choosing strong drugs. They do not affect viruses that cause the flu and the common cold. In some cases, drugs from the group of sulfonamides can be prescribed (for example, the drug "Biseptol"). Moreover, any appointment should be justified and made only by a specialist.
In medical practice, there are cases when the appointment of antibacterial drugs for colds contributes to a sharp decrease in immunity and the occurrence of quite serious complications in the form of bronchitis, pyelonephritis, pneumonia. According to many experts, these medicines should be prescribed in exceptional cases in the absence or ineffectiveness of other means. New generation antibiotics are not intended to prevent disease.
Of no small importance in therapy is the compatibility of medicines. This factor plays a special role in choosing a combined method of exposure to certain pathogens of the disease. A competent doctor before prescribing several drugs will definitely pay attention to their compatibility. It should be noted that many modern antibacterial agents enhance the effect of each other.
