Antibiotics fight powerful colds and inflammations, but if you don't take them the right way, they can only create complications and bigger health problems.

Antibiotics can affect other parts of the body along with the areas affected by the bacteria.

Since not all antibiotics are the same, ask your doctor or pharmacist what exactly you should avoid while using them, Telegraph reports.

Be careful if you take birth control pills, because drugs such as rifampin, which is used to treat meningitis, and rifabutin, which is used to treat tuberculosis, can lower the level of hormones that prevent ovulation.

If they are part of your therapy, in addition to the pills, definitely use a condom for protection while you are taking antibiotics for a week after the end of the therapy.

Avoid alcohol because it tires the body and you are not ready to fight against diseases.

The combination of alcohol and antibiotics can cause stomach problems, dizziness and drowsiness.

Medicines such as metronidazole, which are used in the therapy of vaginal infections and parasites, such as tinidazole, for curing vaginal bacteria, should never be combined with alcohol, because they can cause headaches, croup and nausea, as well as a rapid pulse.

Antibiotics kill the bad bacteria that make us sick, but also the good ones that are found in the intestines and are necessary for the normal functioning of the body.

This can cause stomach cramps and diarrhea, which is why the use of probiotics is recommended.

Also, women should definitely take care of vaginal problems, so they are advised to use vaginal probiotics.

Some antibiotics such as augmentin should definitely be taken with light food, which will not burden the stomach, while penicillin should be taken in a dry stomach in order to best affect the problems.

For this reason, read the instructions in the section that deals with food and be informed about what you should and shouldn't eat before receiving the therapy.
