Albanians continue to self-medicate, sometimes even with antibiotics. Family doctors say that the lack of information often leads to patients not even following the treatment regimen, creating more problems.
But the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, according to the doctor, is making some diseases difficult to treat as the potency of medications has decreased while bacteria have become stronger, creating antibiotic resistance, reports "EuronewsAlbania".
Sometimes it is even doctors themselves who prescribe antibiotics when they are not necessary. The WHO has considered antibiotic resistance a major public health problem for years, as some antibiotics have lost their potency.
