Antibiotic resistance

2021-01-29 13:13:47
I have been taking plenty of antibiotics since past 6 months. Can this cause antibiotic resistance? I might have to take more antifungals soon. I'm a bit worried. I took these tablets for Anal Fissures: 14 July - Metrogyl 400 - 14 tablets 21 July - Augmentin 625 - 8 tablets 26 July - Metrogyl 400 - 10 tablets 15 Sept - Augmentin 625 - 15 tablets I took these tablets for fungal balanitis: 17 Jan - Zifi 200 - 10 tablets 23 Jan - Itaspor 200 - 6 tablets

Hi, need not bother,these duration courses will not cause any resistance.it needs months at one stretch to cause that.

You are taking these medications according to doctor's advice for the particular condition, so it is unavoidable.and resistance will come only when you take it for prolonged period.
