walshie 2,804 Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 I never understood that advert telling you not to take antibiotics unless you really have to. You can only get them through the doctor, so unless you buy them from some dodgy internet site, you wouldn't have access to them anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it’s because a lot of people don’t finish the full course of antibiotics so probably have some in the medicine cupboard. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Never thought of that. Out of date antibiotics that might not even be the right ones. What could go wrong? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Women had no need to take it, it wasn't a killer or a maimer. Thank f**k there's no women on here, they would slate me for that last commemt. No, i would not, but I do not think women were really to blame. If they had known, I do not think any of them would have decided to take the stuff. Big pharma offers you a supposedly safe tested way to stop feeling like hell, how many would say no? It is easy to be wise after the event. A lifetime of heartbreak and regret is not something anybody would choose. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Antibiotics don't go out of date,the date thing is so folks throw them away and get new ones so the drug companies make more money,if you sort of know the spectrum of what sort is needed then types of human ones are all good for animals... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waltjnr 5,971 Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 Think it's more a case of docs dishing out antibiotics like smarties ," oh I've got a sore throat " here goes take this course of antibiotics, you've a throat infection,,,,,No you have a sore throat, that will clear up via the bodies immune system, not a course of antibiotics 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
