Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background : Infectious diseases are treated with antibiotics. Antibiotics are widely used because infectious diseases are so common. Even though antibiotics are purchased at pharmacies with a doctor's prescription, many antibiotics are currently being taken without a prescription. Resistance will develop if antibiotics are consumed without a doctor's prescription and not according to indications for administration.
Objective : This study examines how people use antibiotics without a doctor's prescription.
Methods : The author of this article uses a method related to the article's title by using some relevant literature from database of journals such as Google Scholar. The discussion and findings of this study will assist readers and health professionals in analyzing how people use antibiotics without a prescription.
Result : Based on the findings of the five studies, journals discuss the relationship between knowledge level and attitudes regarding the use of antibiotics without a prescription. This literature review shows that most people of reproductive age consume antibiotics without a doctor's prescription to treat symptoms usually caused by non-bacterial pathogens.
Conclusion : . One of the intervention approaches taken to restrict access is government control. Holistic interventions against those who sell antibiotics without a prescription are expected to significantly reduce the irresponsible use of antibiotics in the community
