Medicines are key to fight sickness. In this day and age as medical science has many rapid strides in curing different diseases, Antibiotics have formed essential part of our medicine system.


As a matter of fact, 

Antibiotics, also known as antibacterials, are medications that destroy or slow down the growth of bacteria.


We need to bear in mind that they include a range of powerful drugs and are used to treat diseases caused by bacteria.


Antibiotics cannot treat viral infections, such as cold, flu, and most coughs. 


But widespread use of antibiotics in many parts of the country like Kashmir has over the years become a cause of seriousconcern. 


On their part, the common people using these antibiotics without Doctor consultation is a big worry in any part of the world.


The expert pulse is that inappropriate use of antibiotics is responsible for alarming levels of antibiotic resistance in places like Kashmir valley.


The expert pulse has also been that large number of antibiotics are unnecessarily prescribed for infections caused by viruses or conditions that are not linked to infection at all.


We need to raise awareness in the masses especially about overuse of Antibiotics that may cause health complications and lead to Antibiotics resistance.
