Unnecessary use of Antibiotics would be dangerous!

The World Health Organization is focusing on the intensifying threat of bacteria resistance which is developing against antimicrobial drugs, particularly against antibiotics.


In this era of medical breakthrough, where now and then a new wonder drug comes to treat diseases that were considered fatal a few decades ago, or even a few years ago, in the case of HIV/AIDS. The World Health Organisation has begun a global campaign to save these medications for future generations.

Antimicrobial resistance is increasing over the world, jeopardizing the utility of today's many medicines used to treat diseases. At the same time, there is a risk of jeopardizing important advances against major infectious killers.

World Health Organization theme is focused on the need for governments to implement policies and practices to prevent and counter the emergence of highly resistant microorganisms. Drug resistance is also known as infection resistance, caused by microorganisms, antibiotics, and other antimicrobial drugs, including conventional therapy, and failure to respond to the long illness and death could result in greater risk.

Last century several drug breakthroughs could be lost due to the emergence of antibiotic resistance. Consequently, one day a lot of infectious diseases may become uncontrollable and could rapidly spread all over the world. That’s why WHO has planned to bring attention to the urgent need to fight drug resistance by intensifying the actions to combat the threat.

Antibiotic microorganisms that are resistant to first-line antibiotics are becoming more common, leading doctors to administer stronger, more toxic, and more expensive medications to treat the condition. Medications used to treat multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (TB), for example, are 100 times more expensive than normal medications. To deal with the situation, over-the-counter antibiotic sales must be discontinued, and the use of antibiotics as growth promoters in cattle must be restricted. The government, medical community, and general public must all pitch in to help.
