Antibiotics

دژەبەکتریا (ئەنتیبایۆتیک)

A medicine that kills harmful bacteria in the body or stops them from growing.

Definition

Antibiotics help only with bacterial infections and have no effect on colds and viruses. Wrong use without a doctor’s examination leads to the growth of strong bacteria that resist medicines. If a doctor has prescribed them, it is important to finish the whole course on time.
