Despite repeated warnings people still pop up anti-biotics at the drop of a hat.
Doctors who prescribe them immediately as soon as the patients come to them(this is a fact, at least in India),drug shops which issue them with out prescriptions and sales promotion by way of heavy advertising by Pharma companies are also equally responsible.
Story:
LONDON (Reuters) – Overuse of antibiotics in Europe is building widespread resistance and threatening to halt vital medical treatments such as hip replacements, intensive care for premature babies and cancer therapies, health experts say.
Dominique Monnet of the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control’s (ECDC) scientific advice unit said the “whole span of modern medicine” is under threat because bugs are become resistant to antibiotics, rendering the drugs useless.
