i get this is c/lemmyshitpost, but there is nothing here that screams shitpost, and this is not how antibiotics work and it’s not how they are prescribed.
never a good look when the shitpost sub upvotes “informative” slop
Life hack: use the one your doctor prescribes.
Life hack: use more than one, at the same time, arbitrarily, whenever you feel like it, unprescribed
.
please don’t actually do that
Stop when you feel better
Unless you’re allergic, in which case remind them.
I’ve been prescribed meds I’m allergic to way too often.
Really? Seems I can’t step a millimetre in a doctor’s office without them asking if I’m allergic to anything (turns out that being allergic to stupidity isn’t an issue when it comes to medical treatment).
And I can’t get surgery without having to stop them from prescribing me something I already told them I’m allergic to
Antibiotics are prescribed on a case by case basis and aren’t only designed for specific infections, I’ve been prescribed Levofloxacin and Doxycycline before for severe sinus infections.
Cipro is brutal. Last time I took it 2 days in I felt like my tendons were disintegrating. I couldn’t even pour myself a cup of coffee without crying.
I was able to take it a couple times before without too much issue, but Jesus it doesn’t play around.
What’s Pemicillin? Never heard of that one before. /s
