    Did you mean Systemic Antibiotics?
    GlossarySystemic Antibiotics

    medications that treat bacterial infections throughout the entire body

    Systemic antibiotics are medications designed to combat bacterial infections throughout the entire body, rather than targeting a specific area. They are typically administered orally or intravenously, allowing the active ingredients to circulate through the bloodstream and reach various tissues and organs. This makes them effective for treating widespread or severe infections that cannot be managed with topical treatments alone.
