Experts from the British Medical Journal have said that it is time to investigate whether the medicine should always be completed before starting the antibiotic. They say that they do not see enough reasoning for antibiotics to stop using antibiotics at mid-way without completing the entire course.
Experts say, if the antibiotic is stopped when you feel healthy, then it is possible to reduce the use of antibiotic, so that further research is needed. But family doctors advised patients not to make any changes to their antibiotic treatment based on just one study.
Helen Stokes-Lamperd, chief professor of the Royal College of General Practitioners, a family member of family doctors in England, said that the reduction in symptoms or feeling good does not mean that the infection has been completely cut off. What is important for patients is very clear- always what we have said that the whole course of antibiotics will be taken. Now it will confuse people if they change.
What is the new study? A group of researchers from various parts of England have argued that antibiotics should be used to reduce the use of antibiotics in order to deal with the resistance to human body.
Martin Lowellin and his colleagues from Brighton and Sussex Medical School, on the basis of their research, say that using antibiotics more than necessary increases the risk of developing antibiotic resistance.
They say that the old idea was that if the antibiotic was not consumed long, the infection would remain inside and the risk of developing antibiotic resistance would be created.
They say, now that the more proven is that the three to five days of short-range antibiotic treatment work in the same way in many types of infection. Professor Lowellin said that there are exceptions. Just like using antibiotics in treating tuberculosis, it quickly lose the ability to work on antibiotics.
The researchers say that the practice of universally treating antibiotics should be changed. Considering the importance of infection in individual cases, they have suggested to treat antibiotics differently.
It has been said in the study that in the hospitals, the importance of the disease is increasing considering the importance of antibiotics, and doctors are risking giving antibiotics in the short course. They have admitted that for a short time there is a need for further research on the benefits or disadvantages of antibiotics.
Ten family doctor told that they never give antibiotics to all patients in one row. They also offer medical advice considering the importance of a person's disease. Meanwhile, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society in Britain says the new theory of the researchers gave new opportunities to the use of antibiotics.
"End of the Course" is a reasonable way to introduce this method to 'Turn off the medicine if you feel better' instead of this traditional mantra of antibiotic treatment - they say that it will be more conducive for further research. Formula
