GlossaryAntibiotic Treatment (Antibiotic Medication)

use of antibiotics to combat bacterial infections

Antibiotic Treatment, also known as Antibiotic Therapy, involves the use of antibiotics to combat bacterial infections. These medications work by either killing bacteria or inhibiting their growth, helping the body's immune system to eliminate the infection. It's crucial to use antibiotics as prescribed to avoid resistance, which can make future infections harder to treat.
