Indiscriminate and Irrational Antibiotic Use

Dear Friends

Its ironic to see the current situation which we all are dealing with. With so much of irrational, indiscriminate and unjustified use of antibiotics, the coming era looks frightening. Abuse of antibiotics with no drug regulation authority over the quality check and the over the counter easy availability has led to the difficult situation to deal with menace of MRSA, VRE, ESBL including MDR Pseudomonas,Acinetobacter and so on.

Have we given thought what will be the future when very less research on new molecules is taking place. Isn't it the high time when we join hands to curb this pandemic of MDR organisms due to antibiotic abuse.

Think before  prescribing the antibiotic and try to check the abuse in the surroundings. Hope we give blossoming future for the generations to come.
