It is quite shocking to see that in Pakistan, antibiotics are easily available even without a prescription and are, surprisingly, among over-the-counter medicines. The facility to purchase such products online has also made them easily accessible. Inaccurately recommended antibiotics have questionable therapeutic benefits and cause complications.
Antibiotic-resistant infections pose a serious health hazard and may also result in significant economic burden on the healthcare system. Such infections are estimated to kill at least 700,000 people each year globally. Being a microbiologist, I advise restrain regarding antibiotics use.
