Doctor Komarovsky spoke about the negative consequences of taking antibiotics

The thoughtless use of antibiotics can harm the human body. This was stated by the Ukrainian DOCTOR and TV presenter Evgeny Komarovsky on Instagram.

“When antibiotics are prescribed prophylactically without the presence of a bacterial infection, this does not reduce, but increases, at times increases the number of bacterial complications,” the doctor said.

Komarovsky explained that an antibiotic can rid a person of a certain group of bacteria, but at the same time will make it possible for other pathogenic organisms to multiply "without natural competitors".

At the same time, the doctor noted that some doctors prescribe antibiotics for viral infections. He explained this by the fears of physicians that the patient may develop a complication, such as pneumonia. Then the patient will blame the doctor for this, who did not prescribe the necessary drugs.
