Antibiotics: Medicines used to treat bacterial infections only.

Asst. Prof. Dr. Pison Jongtrakul, Member of the Medical Council and Chairman of the Strengthening Working Group People regarding the rational use of drugs (SSO.) Told the Hfocus news agency about the effects of antibiotics and their side effects. Antibiotics are medicines used to treat bacterial infections. Not used to treat viral infections If used to treat other diseases In addition to not being beneficial, it also brings negative effects to the patient. From the case of the said post It is a result of antibiotics. Because the drug destroys all types of bacteria that the drug has the ability to destroy. There are many types of antibiotics. and has different scopes of action on bacteria Some types have a narrow effect on only certain types of bacteria. But many drugs work on many types of bacteria, such as using an antibiotic called Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid, which is also known as Augmentin, AMK, or Cavumox. This type of drug has a broad spectrum of action. Thus destroying many types of bacteria that come in contact with it. Action of antibiotics Upon contact, the bacteria will kill or inhibit their growth in various ways. Once the infection is gone, bacteria decreased will return to good health But in the human body there are many resident bacteria living in every part of the body. Does not cause disease And it also helps to have good health.

“When taking broad-spectrum antibiotics, It will also destroy these bacteria. From the said post The medicine destroys bacteria in the large intestine. Which will be mixed with hidden bad bacteria called Clostridium Difficile (C. diff) that is in the feces in the large intestine. In normal conditions, this type of bacteria is controlled so that the amount is not excessive. Does not cause disease But when other types of bacteria are destroyed But this type of bacteria is stubborn. Therefore increasing the number Causes the release of toxins or Toxin in increased amounts. Until destroying the wall lining the large intestine Causes diarrhea, diarrhea, loose stools, watery stools, and intestinal inability to move. This causes air to become trapped in the large intestine. This caused a large intestinal aneurysm as shown on the X-ray image. When the colon wall is further damaged, ulcers will form. and there will be germs left in the large intestine Break into the wound until an infection in the bloodstream occurs lead to shock and may cause death.” Asst. Prof. Dr. Pison Tell about the dangers of taking antibiotics.

Antibiotics leave long lasting effects. Antibiotics should not be used indiscriminately.

Asst. Prof. Dr. Pison Moreover, when this toxin destroys the intestinal wall over time, the intestinal wall is pink. If there is normal blood supply, it will be destroyed and some parts of the intestinal wall will die. The skin will peel off in pieces and be mixed with the feces, called pseudomembrane. Medically this condition is called Pseudomembranous Ulcerative Colitis, also known by other names as Antibiotic-Associated Colitis (AAC) or C. diff Associated Colitis, is the result of antibiotics killing native bacteria. It disrupts the ecosystem in the large intestine. The death rate for people with this disease is approximately 25% or 1 in 4.

“There is always this risk of taking antibiotics, especially broad-spectrum medicines. This disease is difficult to diagnose. This is because it can take weeks or months for diarrhea to develop after taking the medicine. When diarrhea occurs, it is difficult to treat. This is because you must use medicine that is specific to C.diff. Other medicines may worsen the symptoms. Because the cause of the disease is caused by antibiotics. Medical diagnosis of such diseases Stool must be tested for toxins. which there are few hospitals that can test Mostly only medical schools. Therefore, it can be done initially by asking: Have you taken antibiotics before? For other common symptoms such as bloating, abdominal distension, fever, and bloodstream infections.” Asst. Prof. Dr. Pison said and emphasized the unreasonable use of antibiotics that At present, there is widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. We emphasize that antibiotics leave long-lasting negative effects. Antibiotics should not be used indiscriminately. Because most diseases in daily life are caused by viruses. Unreasonable or unnecessary use of antibiotics Will cause negative effects on the body. Just taking one pill is a problem. Therefore, medicine should be used with awareness.
