Antibiotics are medicines produced by certain micro-organisms to kill other disease-causing microorganisms. Precautions to be taken while using antibiotics are: 

- Antibiotics should be taken under the supervision of a well qualified doctor. 

- Course (intake) of antibiotics should be completed as prescribed by the doctor. 

- Antibiotics should be taken in the right amount and at the right time. A wrong dose of antibiotics makes the drug ineffective. Also, excessive consumption of drugs may kill the useful bacteria present in our body.

Medicines which kill or stop the growth of the disease-causing micro-organisms are called antibiotics. Streptomycin, tetracycline and erythromycin are some of the commonly known antibiotics which are made from fungi and bacteria.

Some of the precautions should be taken while taking antibiotics which are as follows:

• Antibiotics should be taken only on the advice of a qualified doctor. 

• A person must finish the full course of antibiotics prescribed by the doctor. 

• Antibiotics should not be taken unnecessarily.
