antibiotics or other ethical drugs WITHOUT THE REQUIRE
PRESCRIPTION issued by a licensed physician is STRICTLY
PROHIBITED.
Go warned that SELF-MEDICATION, which involves buying an
ANTIBIOTIC WITHOUT A DOCTOR'S PRESCRIPTION, and

drug's effect. Other causes of resistance are substandard medicines,
irrational prescriptions and poor infection prevention and control.
