Q16 of 16 Page 49

One medical store owner is giving antibiotics to his customer who is suffering from fever without a doctor’s prescription? But the customer's daughter Malathi is telling her father not to take antibiotics without doctor’s prescription. Whom do you support and why?

I will support Malathi as she is true that her father should not take antibiotics without doctor’s prescription.

Taking antibiotics without doctor’s prescription can be harmful for us because it can even kill essential microorganisms present in our body. Also, antibiotics affect our blood cells which fight with the disease causing organisms. Taking of unnecessary antibiotics increase resistance in our body and due to which disease causing organisms are not killed in our body when we take them because our body becomes resistant to those antibiotics.


So, we should always take antibiotics on doctor’s prescription as they prescribe antibiotics only when they are needed and in proper dosage due to which no harm is caused to our body.
